FGC Idoani’s Former Head Girl, Senator Natasha H Akpoti , Returns With Light and Legacy Projects.



.....…Illuminates Idoani With Solar-Powered Streetlights and Sets in Motion the Construction of a School Auditorium and Staff Quarters
Idoani community in Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State came alive on Monday, December 8, 2025, as Distinguished Senator Natasha Hadiza Akpoti-Uduaghan returned to the town that shaped her formative years, this time bearing development, gratitude, and illumination. The senator, who represents Kogi Central, led the groundbreaking ceremony for a new school auditorium and staff quarters for Federal Government College (FGC) Idoani, even as she celebrated the successful installation of solar-powered streetlights across major parts of the community.

Senator Natasha, who completed her senior secondary education at FGC Idoani where she served as Head Girl of the 1997 set, was warmly received by school authorities, traditional leaders, students, and community stakeholders. Her return was described as both symbolic and transformational, reflecting a leader who has not forgotten the community that nurtured her academic and leadership foundation.

The solar streetlights project, which she facilitated through federal-level advocacy, has already begun changing the face of Idoani. Once dim and insecure streets now shine brightly at night, providing residents with safer walkways, encouraging evening commerce, and boosting social and economic activities across the town. Community leaders say the project has improved security, reduced night-time risks, and brought renewed vibrancy to residential clusters, school corridors, and market routes.

During her address at the groundbreaking event, Senator Natasha described her gesture as a heartfelt expression of gratitude to a community that played a vital role in shaping her into the woman she is today.

“Idoani is home to me. This is the place that nurtured my character, discipline, and leadership. Giving back to this community is not an act of politics but an act of gratitude,” she said, drawing applause from the audience.

She explained that the school auditorium and staff quarters project will address long-standing infrastructure needs at FGC Idoani, providing a conducive environment for learning, assembly, and teacher accommodation. She also pledged further developmental interventions, including the construction of motorized boreholes to address water scarcity, a challenge that has plagued several parts of Idoani for years.

Her visit sparked admiration and emotional reflections among residents, many of whom expressed astonishment that a senator from another state would undertake major projects in their community. They praised her as a shining example of leadership with heart, leadership that transcends constituency lines and embraces humanity.

One elderly statesman described her intervention as “a noble return of gratitude.”

“Senator Natasha may represent Kogi Central, but today she has shown that good leadership knows no boundaries. Her return to Idoani is the return of a daughter whose heart remembers where her journey began,” he remarked.

The solar-powered installations have drastically improved night visibility and overall security, giving traders confidence to operate later hours, enabling students to study under safer conditions, and allowing farmers to return from their farms without fear. Residents say the project has revived communal spirit and restored confidence in public safety.

Importantly, the interventions in Idoani were not financed through Kogi Central constituency funds but through Senator Natasha’s federal-level lobbying and partnership-building, highlighting her ability to mobilize national resources for local impact anywhere development is needed.

To the people of Idoani, her gesture is not merely political, it is personal. It is the return of a distinguished alumna who carries the values of FGC Idoani in her leadership style: courage, compassion, excellence, and service.

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s influence continues to transcend boundaries, touching lives far beyond her immediate constituency.

Her work in Idoani stands as further proof that true leadership is defined not by geography but by humanity.
