A landmark in Nigeria’s energy sector is set to go live as the 1250MW power plant spearheaded by Dr. Deji Adeleke, billionaire businessman, is now fully completed and ready for commissioning.

Adeleke, speaking on Sunday in Ede, Osun State, at the 11th undergraduate and 7th postgraduate convocation ceremonies of Adeleke University, said work has been completed on his 1250 megawatt power plant located in Ajebamidele, Ondo State.

According to the renowned businessman and Pro-chancellor, Adeleke University, the only step remaining is the connection of the power plant to the national gas grid.

“The powerplant is ready, I am only waiting to be connected to the gas grid to start generating power. That plant will employ over 2,000 engineers and other associated workers,” Adeleke said.

Once operational, it will rank among the largest power projects ever undertaken in Nigeria, marking a significant boost to the country’s electricity generation capacity.

This bold investment by Adeleke reflects renewed private sector confidence in Nigeria’s infrastructure space.

His 1250MW power plant also signals a major progress towards tackling the nation’s long-standing energy deficit.

The country is going to be on a great ride in the coming months. The economy is going to be largely private sector driven, one of the biggest drive of the reforms of the current administration. A power sector driven by private investors in accordance with the new electricity law whereby state governments are in charge of generating and distributing power within their respective states.
An oil sector driven by private investors where private refineries are being built for fuel production and distribution. Already Dangote is taking charge of bringing logistics closer to the consumers with 4,000 CNG Trucks.

A maritime and blue economy where private investors are building port terminals. Indigenous investors are now building local vessels that are delivering maritime services both home and international, the first of its kind in the history of Nigeria. Reforms are not magic but a process.

Say Jagaban!

-Kiss the truth!

2027 presidential election victory is sure for Tinubu. What most of those ignorant peddlers don't know is that reform comes with its challenges but president Tinubu has taken an audacious move and his eyes are fixed on the economic prosperity these reforms will usher in.

I don't know who writes these power articles without mentioning the source of energy.

Anyways, this will significantly improve power supply. It should be fed to people and companies that can afford it so they don't run it like NEPA power stations.

If Tinubu could step in and attempt to take credit for Dangote refinery that started under GEJ while being unable to supply crude, is it one power plant he wont claim?

Yekiniology.
