Recognizing the challenges faced by these communities due to prolonged power outages, the management of the Ibese Cement plant collaborated with the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to provide essential materials needed to reconnect the areas to the national grid. This initiative reflects a strong commitment to supporting local development.

Traditional leaders from the affected communities expressed their gratitude to chairman of Dangote Cement Plc, Aliko Dangote for approving over N100 million for the procurement of the necessary electrical items. They underscored the importance of this contribution, encouraging IBEDC to expedite the reconnection process following the donation.

During the handover ceremony, Plant director, Roy Uttam reiterated the company’s dedication to eliminating the blackout and emphasized the importance of protecting the electrical installations once they are in place.

He noted that while providing these materials is typically the responsibility of the IBEDC, Dangote Cement took the initiative in the interest of the communities.
