Osogbo, July, 21, 2025 – The 1,250–megawatt power plant being constructed by Dr Deji Adeleke in Ajebamidele in Ondo State, has been completed and ready for inauguration.
Adeleke, a businessman and Pro-chancellor of Adeleke University in Ede, Osun State, announced this on Sunday at the convocation ceremonies of the school.
He said the plant, which would soon be connected to the gas grid would provide 20,000 jobs for engineers and others with associated skills.
“The powerplant is ready, I am only waiting to be connected to the gas grid to start generating power. That plant will employ over 2,000 engineers and other associated workers.
“Imagine if not because of my relationship, we are not able to get GE to supply the turbine to us, that means that the powerplant will not be built.
“That mean the jobs will not be there. Nobody wants to come to society where votes do not count, where the electorate do not have a say,” he said.
Adeleke expressed disappointment with fraud associated with elections in Nigeria, adding that developed countries don’t respect Nigeria because of this problem.
He, however, expressed optimism that Nigeria would be a great country if the electoral process improves for the better.
