Adelabu to Oyo Assembly:  Avoid Politicising Technical Challenges in Power Sector 

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has expressed concern over the alleged politicisation of technical challenges in the power sector and has rejected allegations of incompetence against him by members of the Oyo State House of Assembly.

In a statement issued by Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media Relations to the minister, the minister clarified that the transmission challenges affecting Ibarapa predate the current administration. 

These challenges, it said, were largely caused by funding shortfalls and unresolved compensation issues linked to critical infrastructure of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
