Residents of Epukiro who have been connected to the electric grid have been urged to capitalise on it to better their lives.

The Constituency Councillor, Piniel Pakare, made an appeal in an interview with nbc News at Ohakavena, one of four villages just electrified through the Rural Electrification Project.

Pakarae says the rural electrification project is a costly exercise, but the government, through its stakeholders, is trying to light up rural areas.
