Oluwo of Iwoland Praises Nigeria's Power Supply Improvements

Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwoland, stated that the recent improvements in electricity supply in Nigeria could provide essential support to small-scale business operators facing high operating costs. He highlighted that businesses reliant on electricity, such as petty traders, welders, and vendors, would benefit from reduced expenses on alternative energy sources and increased productivity.

Following his return to Nigeria two days prior after a month-long vacation, he noted a remarkable improvement in electricity supply, experiencing at least 20 hours of electricity daily without needing to purchase diesel. Oba Akanbi praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for restoring sanity to the power sector and commended the Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, for the advancements.

He urged the Federal Government to maintain this progress, emphasizing that reliable electricity is crucial for reviving struggling businesses and attracting investments. He also called for a continued fight against corruption in the power sector and encouraged responsible electricity consumption among Nigerians.
