Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu finally drops plan to resign, on his own will
Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has finally announced plans to drop his resignation from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet.
His spokesperson, Bolaji Tunji, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday morning.
He said his resignation is for him to explore his gubernatorial aspiration in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 election.
DAILY POST reports that the minister presided over Nigeria’s failed power sector despite the electricity tariff hike in April 2024.
Recall that in the last months, Nigerians experienced an inadequate electricity supply, which Adelabu acknowledged at different fora without offering actionable solutions.
“In view of this development, Chief Adebayo Adelabu is expected to resign his position as minister of power in the coming days,” he said.
Meanwhile, checks by DAILY POST showed that the minister promised 6000 megawatts of electricity by the end of last year, but the country battled with between 2500 megawatts and 3500MW for a population of over 250 million persons.
