Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has announced plans to conduct a comprehensive electricity consumption audit as part of efforts to improve power distribution efficiency and achieve stable 24-hour electricity supply across the state.
The governor made the disclosure during an inspection visit to the 4-megawatt gas-fired Independent Power Plant located in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, where he explained that the audit would enable the government to effectively monitor electricity distribution, reduce leakages, and curb energy theft.
According to Abiodun, reliable power supply remains critical to industrialisation and economic growth, stressing that the Ogun State Light-Up Project was conceived to make the state energy self-sufficient while ensuring that no community is left underserved.
He noted that both the Oke-Mosan 4-megawatt Independent Power Plant and the 34-megawatt Onijanganjangan power project were designed with future expansion in mind to meet the increasing energy demands of residents and businesses.
The governor further disclosed that the newly established Ogun State Electricity Regulatory Commission would oversee electricity generation, transmission, and distribution across the state.
Abiodun reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to positioning Ogun as a leading investment destination through the provision of reliable, affordable, and uninterrupted power supply for residents and industries.
