Residents Of Sheini In The Tatale Sanguli District Of The Northern Region Cries Out to The Government Over The Abandoned Electricity Project

According to the residents, the community is fully wired with a transformer, the only thing left is powering it, and over years now nothing has been done to it and some vaccines that were supposed to be stored in the fridge at the CHPs compound, they have to travel to Tatale or Zabzugu which is over 12 miles away to store the vaccines and in some cases, the facility will rather refer them to Tatale instead of keeping them in the facility.

Also, women have to travel to Zabzugu or Tatale over twelve to thirteen kilometers to grind their foodstuffs, and sometimes they have to sleep there for days before.

Teachers also complained about how difficult it is to teach ICT without electricity.

 The charge of the facility Abdul Raman who admitted the challenges the community members raised added that it is also very dangerous for storing vaccines from a long distance which they have no option than to go by that even though they were given a solar system but the purpose of it was lighting only and it can't be connected to their electrical gadgets.

The Chief of Sheini Obore Gmalor lamented that,
 lack of electricity has coursed many deaths in the community and its surroundings, and it's getting out of control in a sense that a minor case which could have been handled at the facility in the night will be referred due to the lack of electricity to store some vaccines which could be the first aid to the patients.

He also added that the community has been discovered iron ore which they will be mining shortly, he pleaded to the government to take an immediate step and connect them to the grid to put a stop to the unprecedented happenings in the community and its environment.
