Nkawie (Ash) July 24, GNA – Mr. Abubakar Sedik, District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South-West in the Ashanti Region, has appealed to community members to always engage qualified electricians to work on their electrical problems.
This, he said would help prevent fire disasters resulting from electricity in their homes, shops and work places to help protect life and property in their communities.
Mr Sedik was speaking at the commissioning of electricity projects at separate ceremonies at “Ohia Nhye Da”, Mmrobem and Barniekrom-Nyamebekyere in the district.
The communities were hooked onto the national electricity grid under the Rural Electrification Project of the Ministry of Energy.
Mr. Sedik said it was the vision of the government to provide electricity to all communities to help boost social and economic activities.
It was therefore important for community members to ensure that electricity was used appropriately to prevent fire hazards in communities.
“Let us deal with the right people at the right time in order not to create extra difficulties to our existing problems,” he added.
The community members commended both the past and present governments for commencing and completing the projects for them after being in darkness for many years.
