Adebutu calls for development of power sector in Ogun

A leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Chief Oladipupo Adebutu, has expressed worry over the epileptic power situation in the state and Nigeria in general.

Hon. Ladipupo Adebutu, according to a statement had bemoaned lack of development in the power sector despite significant presence of industries in Ogun State and high number of universities in the state which could facilitate adequate research.

As part of his contributions towards addressing this nagging challenge, Adebutu is said to be ready to lead a discussion with key stakeholders by tagging the forthcoming annual Ladi Adebutu Good Governance Symposium as “Power for Sustainable Development in Ogun State.”

“For decades, the power sector has been hit by this crisis which means that the nation is yet to meet its power aspiration. This, has had, fundamental negative outcomes for Nigeria’s socio-economic productivity and development vision,” the celebrated business mogul noted.

The third edition of the Ladi Adebutu Good Governance Symposium, which is scheduled to hold in Ota, the industrial capital of Ogun State on February 15, 2022 is set to have Mrs. Folake Soetan – Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ikeja Electric as Chairman of the occasion while Mr. Sunday Oduntan, Director, Research and Advocacy, Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED) will be the co-chairman and lead speaker with Ehi Uwaifoh as co-speaker.
