Adebayo Adelabu is set to resign from his position as Minister of Power in the coming days, according to his Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Bolaji Tunji.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Tunji disclosed that the anticipated resignation follows recent high-level engagements, including the presentation of the National Integrated Electricity Policy and its Strategic Implementation Plan.

The statement noted: “In view of this development, Chief Adebayo Adelabu is expected to resign his position as Minister of Power in the coming days.

“The timing of his anticipated resignation reflects his commitment to addressing key sectoral challenges and ensuring continuity in ongoing reforms prior to exiting office. This includes efforts to stabilise the power sector following recent declines in electricity generation caused by gas supply constraints to power plants, ongoing pipeline repairs, and outstanding obligations to gas suppliers. It also aligns with the need to secure the President’s approval for his intended resignation and his gubernatorial ambition in Oyo State.”

During the meeting, Adelabu also highlighted key milestones achieved under his leadership, including efforts to stabilise electricity generation, strengthen transmission capacity, and implement reforms aimed at improving efficiency and service delivery across the power sector value chain.
