” Engr. Popoola did what others found difficult of doing, today I can tell you that we have been enjoying the solar power systems here at Ibadan House, Oke-Aremo, without hindrance, this has even made us neglect our generators.”
In his speech, the donor, Mogaji Engr. Popoola praised the CCII for being a central rallying body for Ibadan sons and daughters and said it is a thing of joy for him to have done the wish of the organization.
” This is just a little contribution, there are bigger plans, even not only for Ibadan but Oyo state in general.
