Ibadan Communities Heave Sigh Of Relief As Residents Experience First Rain In 2023
Ibadan, the Oyo state capital on Sunday recorded its first rain of the year.
Our Correspondent reports that the rain which started at about 3’0′ clock in afternoon rained heavily at Podo, Odo Ona kekere and environs.
A cross section of residents in the area expressed joy over the rain, which they described as a relief to the hot weather currently being experienced.
The residents, who prayed for more rain soonest, condemned the services of IBEDC in the area, saying home appliances like fans, airconditioners, fridges, freezers that could have cushioned the effects of the heat and used for food preservation had become useless due to near zero per cent power supply.
Further investigation by our correspondent on the first rain revealed that, while other areas felt the cool breeze effect of the rain, it merely dropped or scattered in some areas within the state capital.
