Oyo State Commissioner for Energy, Barrister Seun has met the stakeholders of the Towing Vehicle Association in Oyo state to seek collaboration between the Ministry of Energy and their association with the Light Up Oyo projects.
During part of the meeting, Issues on the damage to the street light poles were discussed.
The commissioner restated the stance of the ministry on the mantra “if you see something say something ” particularly on the incessant damaging of the street light poles which has become a menace at night.

He stressed the need for the towers to inform the ministry of culprits before helping them tow the vehicles away from the scene since they are the first responders.

The chairman, of the Towers association in his remarks, assures the ministry of their total support in collaborating with them to ensure government properties aren’t destroyed.
The commissioner in his final remarks says the ministry operates an open-door policy and assured them of his total support to rid the state of destroyers who out of their act of indiscipline hinders government projects.

The commissioner appreciated the association for their spirit of loyalty to the state and assured them of improved and continuous work on the remaining grey areas.
The fact that His Excellency Governor Seyi Makinde means well for the state hence the rapid development Oyo state is experiencing under Omituntun 2.0 which is an upgrade of Omituntun 1.0.
