Airtel promises Omishakin community electricity

The third episode of the award winning television programme ‘Airtel
Touching Lives’ is scheduled to air on the 16 th  of February on national and
cable TV. The episode focuses on Omishakin, a community in Lagos State
that has been without electricity for over 13 years.
 
Due to lack of electricity, the community, in recent times, had experienced
multiple security problems as hoodlums swarmed the environs in the dark,
putting lives and property at constant risk.
 
Commercial water boreholes operated by individual members of the
community also failed as the owners could not afford the resources to fuel
generating sets.  This resulted in untold hardship as the community
members had to walk long distances to fetch potable water.
 
The upcoming episode will show members of the community as they
narrate how the issue of electricity has been a major setback on their
businesses and livelihood.
 
Episode two of Airtel Touching Lives followed the story of Cole Evans, a
28-year-old fitness trainer who had lost all hope following a tragic accident
that killed five people on the scene.

Cole was unable to pass urine as the accident left his urinary tract
damaged and also fractured his pelvis. He also had to endure the trauma of
the incident and soon fell into severe depression.
 
The episode showed Cole’s journey through recovery after Airtel intervened
by supporting him with N8,000,000 (Eight Million Naira) for a corrective
surgery in the United Kingdom.
