Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has announced plans to carry out 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 disclosed this during an inspection visit to the 4-megawatt gas-fired Independent Power Plant in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, where he explained that the audit would help government monitor electricity distribution, curb leakages, and tackle energy theft.
Abiodun described power as the foundation of industrialisation and economic development, noting that the Ogun State Light-Up Project is aimed at making the state energy self-sufficient while ensuring no community is underserved. He added that both the Oke-Mosan 4-megawatt plant and the 34-megawatt Onijanganjangan power project were designed for future expansion.
The governor also revealed that the newly established Ogun State Electricity Regulatory Commission would oversee electricity generation, transmission, and distribution in the state, stressing that the administration’s goal is to position Ogun as the preferred investment destination with reliable and affordable 24-hour power supply.
