President Adama Barrow will turn on the light in Kiang following the completion of the region’s electricity project.
Kiang remained one of the only last regions of the country where people rely on solar during the night. Those who cannot afford solar have lived in darkness for decades.
But State House announced on Thursday the president will on Saturday, 28th November switch the light in Kiang, marking the end of an era of darkness and the beginning of socio-economic development..
“For the first time in the history of Kiang, residents will enjoy an uninterrupted supply of electricity,” State House said on its official Facebook page.
The president has been busy travelling around the country in recent weeks flagging off new projects while inaugurating others. He has also been busy inspecting those that are already underway.
