**Ajakurama Community: Lighting Up Possibilities**

Nestled in the heart of Edo State's Ovia Southwest Local Government Area lies Ajakurama, a vibrant riverine Ijaw community steeped in rich history and cultural heritage. Home to over 5000 residents across 700 households, Ajakurama stands as a testament to the resilience and spirit of the Ijaws, the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Ajakurama is the seat of the traditional Egbesu society.

Despite its historical significance, Ajakurama has long grappled with infrastructural challenges, including bad roads and no electricity. However, on November 30 th 2023, a transformative moment occurred – the flick of a switch illuminated Ajakurama with modern electricity for the first time, courtesy of EtinPower Limited.

With the introduction of our solar-powered mini-grid, Ajakurama has witnessed a newfound energy that permeates every aspect of community life. The hum of generators in the more affluents compounds has been replaced by the gentle buzz of progress through clean and more cost-effective energy.

Yet, our journey doesn't end here. As we expand our reach to cover the entirety of Ajakurama in our next phase, we are committed to empowering our 112 customers and fostering sustainable development through electrification. Through innovative approaches and community engagement, we're not just providing electricity; we're igniting a spark of hope and opportunity that illuminates the path to a brighter future for Ajakurama.
