The Lawmaker had during the last year’s Okoro Gbede Day promised the Community, solar power street lights.
Chief Durotiwon, while confirming the receipt of the solar lights expressed appreciation to the House of Representatives member for the gesture, describing him as a rare gem and promise keeper.

The Statement reads “Okoro Gbede Community is happy to announce the donation of 10 Solar powered street lights from Hon. Arc. Salman Idris member representing Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency at the Green Chamber. On behalf of the people of Okoro Gbede land, we express our profound gratitude to Hon.
