The Chairman of Ughelli North Local Government Council, Olorogun Jaro Egbo, has successfully brokered peace between the Oko-Erhavwe Community in Agbarho and Transcorp Power Plc over a longstanding dispute involving community recognition and unpaid benefits.
The resolution was reached on Monday, May 4, 2026, during a meeting convened by the Ughelli North Peace and Conflict Resolution Committee.
At the meeting, the Council formally recognised Oko-Erhavwe as an autonomous community within Ughelli North Local Government Area, bringing clarity to its status and addressing one of the core issues in contention.
In addition, Transcorp Power Plc was directed to pay all outstanding benefits owed to the community without further delay, a move aimed at resolving grievances that had lingered for years.
As part of the agreement, both parties are expected to reconvene in one month to assess compliance and ensure full implementation of the resolutions reached.
A representative of the company present at the meeting expressed agreement with the Council’s decisions and assured the Council of its commitment to fully comply with the resolutions.
Speaking after the meeting, the Chairman commended the peaceful disposition of all parties involved and reiterated the Council’s commitment to promoting harmony, justice, and sustainable development across communities in Ughelli North.
