By Divine Perezide,
A prominent leader of Letugbene Community, H๐ผ๐ป. ๐๐ฝ๐๐. ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐บ๐ถ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ has called on the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to carry Letugbene Community along in its Street Light Project.
This was conveyed in an Open Letter addressed to Chief Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, the Managing Director of the interventionist agency.
IduwiniVoice can report that the NDDC has been on a sprea of street light installation in communities across the Niger Delta.
While admirers applaud the NDDC “Light Up Niger Delta” as a tangible campaign, critics believe the NDDC aught to be concentrating on capital projects such connecting the swampy creeks of the Niger Delta coastal communities to the city-centres.
However, most communities who are neither connected to the National Grid or have stand alone communal power generating sets believe that lighting up their streets in the night is definitely a great move.

I am writing in my capacity as a concerned indigene and stakeholder of the aforementioned community in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, to express my deepest admiration for your leadership and the impactful initiatives you have championed as the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Your commitment to the development of the Niger Delta region is truly commendable, and your efforts have brought hope and transformation to many communities.
As you continue to drive development in the heartbeat of Nigeria’s oil industry, I humbly request that you consider installing solar-powered streetlights in Letugbene. This oil-producing community has faced huge environmental, economic and social challenges due to oil exploration activities, and it is imperative that it benefits from the region’s resources.
The installation of solar-powered streetlights would be a game-changer for this community and its environs. Not only would it enhance security and reduce crime, but it would also promote economic activities, foster a productive nightlife, and elevate the overall quality of life for residents, and stimulate growth in the local economy.
Sir, it will interest you to know that Letugbene is an ideal location for the solar lights project due to its strategic position as the largest market hub in the entire Ekeremor Local Government Area. Its market serves as a commercial nerve center, attracting a large volume of economic activities. Hence, while installing solar lights will significantly improve safety and business operations, it is also necessary for the NDDC to consider building modern market structures in Letugbene to further enhance trading, boost commerce, and create a more enabling environment for business growth. Together, these projects would have a multiplier effect, driving economic activities and fostering deeper development in the area.
Given your track record of delivering impactful projects, the success of your “Light Up The Niger Delta” initiative, I am confident that the installation of solar-powered streetlights in Letugbene would be a success. Your leadership has shown that you are dedicated to the progress of the oil hub of Nigeria, and I believe that this project would be a significant step towards achieving that goal.
I am persuaded that the installation of solar-powered streetlights in this commercial community would be a worthy investment in the lives of the people and the development of the area. I look forward to seeing positive changes in this community and appreciate your consideration of this request.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
