A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, Oladipupo Adebutu has expressed worry over the epileptic power situation in the state and Nigeria in general.
He bemoaned the lack of development in the power sector despite the significant presence of industries in Ogun State.

In his efforts to address the growing power issue, Adebutu is set to lead a discussion with key stakeholders by tagging the forthcoming annual Ladi Adebutu Good Governance Symposium as ‘Power for Sustainable Development in Ogun State’.
“For decades, the power sector has been hit by this crisis which means that the nation is yet to meet its power aspiration. This, has had, fundamental negative outcomes for Nigeria’s socio-economic productivity and development vision,” the celebrated business mogul noted.
