Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has been formally inaugurated as the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA). He said, “My mission in REA is to take the agency to greater heights by providing the needed political will. “Work has started in earnest; we are reaching out very fast and appealing to people to ensure the work is done. According to Fayose, many of the challenges confronting Nigeria’s power sector were concentrated at the grassroots, stressing that the REA’s responsibility goes beyond simply providing electricity. He stated, “The assignment given to us is beyond providing electricity but also looking at the population of the country who need to feel the impact of the energy.
