I Produce 15% Of Nigeria’s Electricity, Says Deji Adeleke

The father of well-known Nigerian singer Davido, Adedeji Adeleke, has asserted that he produces 15% of Nigeria’s electricity.

The billionaire businessman made the claim while speaking at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church’s General Conference Annual Council 2024 on October 15th.

“I’m in the electricity business; I own power plants. I generate about 15 percent of Nigeria’s electricity. I’ve got Chinese engineering companies that work for me. I am building the biggest thermal power plant in Nigeria to be launched in January 2025. It’s a 1250MW power plant,” he said.

Davido has also previously claimed that his family was responsible for distributing electricity to a major portion of Nigeria.

Appearing on an American podcast, ‘Business Untitled’ in April, Davido claimed that his family owns four power plants, which significantly contribute to Nigeria’s energy needs.
