The Oyo State Government, led by Governor Engr. Seyi Makinde, embarked on a Strategic Development Plan by the introduction of Independent Power Projects (IPP) to enhance the state’s electricity generation capacity and reduce dependence on the national grid.
These projects, overseen by Commissioner for Energy Seun Ashamu, are designed to provide stable and reliable power to support industrial growth, urban development, and rural electrification.
The IPPs involve the construction of state-of-the-art power plants that utilize various energy sources, including gas and renewable energy.
These projects are strategically located to ensure maximum coverage and efficiency. The increased power supply from IPPs is expected to attract investment, spur economic development, and improve the overall quality of life for residents.
Governor Makinde’s administration is committed to creating a self-sufficient and energy-secure state, and these IPPs are a crucial part of that vision.
Governor Makinde’s vision for a self-sufficient and energy-secure Oyo State is evident in these ambitious IPP initiatives.
By leveraging diverse energy sources, the state aims to build a robust and resilient energy infrastructure that can meet the growing demands of its population and industries.
