REJANG LEBONG - Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu received 5,000 solar street lighting assistance from the central government.

"This year we will get 5,000 street lighting assistance from the central government for eight sub-districts, then changes are made so that they are distributed to 15 districts. This assistance is in accordance with our vision and mission to create a glowing Rejang Lebong," said Rejang Lebong Regent Syamsul Effendi quoted by Antara, Wednesday, February 9th.

He explained the certainty of the street light assistance that the region would receive after he signed a grant agreement from the CSR fund of the Project Management Institute for the World Heritages Cultural Forum (LPP-FBDH).

The street light assistance program received by the region, he said, was one of the efforts to make the administration of President Jokowi successful in providing lighting for the community in various regions in the country.

According to him, this street light assistance program has not only been accepted by Rejang Lebong Regency but also by several other areas in Bengkulu Province, and is planned to be launched at the end of March in Central Bengkulu Regency.

He hopes that the street lamp installation program will run well, and the community around the location can take care and maintain it so that it can function and last a long time so that it can improve the community's economy.

Meanwhile, Head of the Rejang Lebong Regency Transportation Service, Rachman Yuzir, in a separate location, said that the street light assistance that the area will receive is assistance from the World Heritages Cultural Forum Project Management Agency in the CSR program.

"In this program, the Rejang Lebong Regency Government has received it already on, so that the procurement process and others are carried out directly by the World Heritages Cultural Forum Project Management Institute. This assistance is also not given all at once but in stages and we hope that in 2022 this can be completed," said Rachman Yuzir.
