BOUESTI STUDENTS, DRIVERS, AND OKADA RIDERS SHOWER ENCOMIUMS ON SENATOR YEMI ADARAMODU FOR THE SOLAR STREET LIGHT PROJECT IN IKERE-EKITI.

Students of the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology (BOUESTI), alongside motorists and commercial motorcyclists (okada riders), have poured out praises on the Distinguished Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, following the installation of solar-powered street lights along the BOUESTI–Ikere township axis.

The newly installed solar street lights, which stretch from the main campus gate of BOUESTI to Ikere township, have significantly improved nighttime visibility, eased students' nighttime movements, and enhanced safety for vehicles and okada riders plying the busy campus road.

Remarkably, the intervention came within 48 hours of a direct request made through one of the Ikere-Ekiti political platforms, highlighting the Senator’s responsiveness and people-centred leadership. The project was necessitated by the persistent power outage in Ikere Local Government Area, which has lingered since 2025 and posed serious challenges to residents, students, and road users.

Upon receiving the request, Senator Adaramodu swiftly mobilized resources and directed his aides to immediately commence and complete the installation of the solar lights. The development has since attracted widespread commendation from the university community and residents of Ikere-Ekiti, who described the gesture as timely, thoughtful, and impactful.

Speaking about the project initiated by residents, the initiative reflects Senator Adaramodu’s commitment to community welfare, education, and sustainable development. They added that the project aligns with the Senator’s broader vision of improving infrastructure and safety across Ekiti South.

While applauding the intervention, members of the community also used the opportunity to appeal for additional solar installations, citing the prolonged electricity challenges in Ikere-Ekiti.

This latest project further reinforces Senator Yemi Adaramodu’s reputation as “the people’s Senator”, consistently delivering practical solutions that directly touch the lives of his constituents.
