Governor Seyi Makinde‘s 11 megawatt Ibadan Hybrid Power Project kicked off operation earlier this month.
A statement on Tuesday, issued by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, said the whole of the Oyo State Secretariat and its environs, covering all ministries, departments, and agencies, including the Secretariat Clinic, the State House of Assembly, and the Governor’s office, have started to experience uninterrupted power supply.
This development, according to the Commissioner, is a fulfilment of Makinde’s promise to commence the process of power independence for the state.
Oyelade said, “The first phase of the project is a 5 MW integrated power plant consisting of solar power and natural gas.

The Commissioner added that the state government, through the Ministry of Energy, in partnership with a private energy conglomerate under a structured Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) model, is undertaking the power project.
