Installation Of Solar Street Lights Across Awka Metropolis, Not Among Memos Approved At Last ANSEC Meeting – Information Commissioner
Anambra State government has informed that installation of Solar Street Lights across Awka Metropolis was not among Memos approved at last Anambra State Executive Council, ANSEC, Meeting.
The Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor, who disclosed this in a Press Release after the 35th ANSEC Meeting, held at the Council Chambers in Awka, said that the council debated extensively the memo on the installation of solar-powered street lights in Awka metropolis but resolved that the unit cost was on the high side and should be reviewed downward.
He said the memo was thus stepped down and was rescheduled for re-presentation at the next ANSEC meeting where all specifications would be available.
The Commissioner regretted the slip in the last release, which reported the street light project as having been awarded, promising that the public will be updated when a decision is eventually taken on the matter.
