Very embarrassing. In my humble opinion solar powered street lamps should be a thing for ward councilors to handle. However, some supposedly "smart" people think is something grand for a deputy governor to be excited about. All shades of mediocre #RestructureNigeria

Street light commissioned in Ogoja. Yes that's a small red carpet beside it.
They also commissioned GENERATORS in Ugep at a time when states are legally allowed to do affordable power projects. https://t.co/N7uFpsL81H pic.twitter.com/yVK7ouGOUK

These Governors took the people for granted too much. Same set of people they took for granted are still the ones who will be singing songs of praise for them…it's just somehow
