Residents of Tse-Agberagba in Konshisha Local Government Area of Benue State are finally seeing light after more than a year of total blackout, thanks to the swift intervention of the Executive Chairman, Hon. Chikyaa Moses Terfa. On January 6, 2026, the community received a brand-new 500kVA transformer procured from Lagos and personally facilitated by the chairman.
The prolonged darkness had been caused by the complete failure of the old transformer, which once supplied electricity to over half of the community. Multiple attempts to repair it over the past year proved futile, leaving homes, businesses, and public facilities in darkness and severely impacting daily life and economic activities.
Determined to resolve the crisis, Hon. Chikyaa approved and funded the purchase of the new equipment. It arrived in the community on Tuesday, January 6, with installation work beginning immediately. Teams continued the process on Wednesday morning under the chairman’s direct supervision, and full restoration of power is expected across Tse-Agberagba by Thursday.
The project has been widely praised as a clear demonstration of responsive and people-centered leadership. In a statement, the Chairman’s Chief Press Secretary, Amb. Apaa Maaki Moses, described the initiative as proof of governance that truly listens and delivers practical solutions to the needs of the people.
As electricity flows back into homes and streets, residents express relief and renewed hope, marking an end to a challenging chapter and highlighting the impact of proactive local leadership in addressing longstanding infrastructure deficits.
