The LORD MAYOR of Andek, Mr. Ubangoh Helly, has reinstated full electricity voltage to the municipality, following many months of low voltage that was usually below 075Volts
In effect, Inhabitants of Tinekoh, ETWII, Andek and Teze that are already connected to the national electricity grid experienced great relieve today, 24th August 2024, after Lord Mayor Ubangoh Helly, through citizen participation, has facilitated the maintenance of the three phase line from Nyîn-Mbengwi to the Municipality, down to the Teze Oil Mill.
For the past many months the inhabitants of the above communities went through very challenging moments because of lack of energy to power their fridges, welding machines, grinding mills and many other heavy machines because of the damages that the three phase line had suffered, especially within the Mbengwi municipality.
After the Lord Mayor of ÀNDEK council had been doing the maintenance all the past times alone, the situation this time became more serious and needed the community who are presently using the electricity free of charge to participate.
We want to sincerely thank the Technicians of Mbengwi and BAMENDA, who braved the odds, working for many long days, and sacrificed to reestablish this line, in heavy rains and high security risk.
The parts replaced included things like :
1) travexes
2) chain insulators
3) flat bars
4) poles
5) MT cables
6) parafut on transformer
7.). Etc.
It is hoped that the present repairs, which were more intense, shall carry the municipality for some time.
Our recommendation to ENEO is that they should systematically replace the present high tension wooden poles, which collapse so often, with ALLUMINIUM or concrete poles for durability.
We also want to that the locals and the external elite who contributed to enable us to realize this great job that has greatly relieved the suffering of the people of the municipality.
We appeal to those users(households) that have not yet contributed to do so immediately or they have have their supply suspended in the days ahead. There is still a pending bill to pay to the technicians.
