The Member Representing Epe Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Olawale Tasir Raji, is set to flag off the installation of 1,000 solar-powered street lights across communities within the constituency.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the landmark initiative, being facilitated through the Hon. Wale Raji Support Group, is scheduled to officially commence on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at Shagari Estate, Epe.
The project is designed to improve visibility and security across communities while supporting economic and social activities, particularly in areas that require improved public lighting.
According to the organisers, the installation of the solar-powered street lights is part of efforts to ensure that communities across Epe Federal Constituency benefit from infrastructure that directly impacts residents’ daily lives.
The initiative is expected to contribute to safer and more accessible streets, while also supporting businesses and other activities that continue into the evening.
The flag-off ceremony is expected to bring together political leaders, ward chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders, community leaders and members of the Hon. Wale Raji Support Group, among other stakeholders from across the constituency.
The organisers described the initiative as another step towards addressing infrastructural needs across the constituency and ensuring that communities are not left behind in the provision of basic amenities.
The solar street lights are also expected to provide a more sustainable lighting solution, particularly in communities where access to reliable public lighting remains a challenge.
Speaking on the significance of the initiative, the organisers noted that the project is aimed at improving security, boosting night-time economic activities and enhancing the overall quality of life of residents.
They said, “This landmark project is aimed at improving security, boosting night economic activities, and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.”
The project is expected to cover different communities within Epe Federal Constituency, reinforcing the objective of extending development interventions beyond individual locations.
As the constituency prepares for the official flag-off, stakeholders and members of the support group are expected to attend the event en masse and witness the commencement of the project.
The initiative further highlights the growing importance of solar-powered infrastructure in communities, particularly as governments and stakeholders explore sustainable alternatives for public lighting.
The flag-off will therefore mark the beginning of the installation process, with residents across the constituency looking forward to the impact of the project on their communities.
