Adebayo Adelabu to Resign as Power Minister for Oyo Governorship

Adebayo Adelabu, the current Minister of Power, is preparing to resign from his position to pursue his ambition for the governorship of Oyo State, with the consent of President Bola Tinubu. This decision follows a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where Adelabu presented a comprehensive report on his stewardship in the power sector over the past two and a half years.

His tenure has been marked by significant milestones aimed at stabilizing electricity generation, strengthening transmission capacity, and implementing reforms to enhance service delivery across the power sector. The statement from Bolaji Tunji highlighted the importance of Adelabu's efforts in addressing challenges within the sector, particularly in light of recent declines in power generation due to gas supply constraints.

President Tinubu commended Adelabu for his dedication and progress in the sector and granted him permission to pursue his gubernatorial aspirations, reaffirming his commitment to advancing Nigeria's power sector and overall national development.
