The royal father was said to have called some stakeholders meeting and made some calls and eventually sank the sum of N21,000,000 to the project. After a period of 18 days, the community began to bustle with uninterrupted electricity supply till date. This great move by the highly respected monarch has been hailed by other communities who got hint of the project to restore power in Okoroduru.

In his prayers, he wished all the indigenes of his community and their tenants success in the year 2026 and appealed to the gods of the land to protect the community.
