Three communities in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State at the weekend were installed with electric transformers bringing to an end eleven years of darkness.

The communities: Esuk Ekpo Eyo, Ikot Nakanda and Ifondo whose transformers were vandalised over a decade ago were installed transformers by Senator Gershom Bassey representing the southern senatorial district.

This coming closely at the heels of the installation of transformers at CROSPIL Housing estate along Navy Road by Phase 2, St Joseph Hospital, Idundun Efita, Eto Mkpe Archibong Edem and Ikot Edem Ndarake communities of Akpabuyo two weeks ago.
