The father of Nigerian music superstar Davido, Adedeji Adeleke has unveiled plans to build Nigeria’s largest power plant.
Speaking at the Seventh Day Adventist General Conference Annual Council, Adeleke revealed that his current power plant generates approximately 15 per cent of Nigeria’s electricity.
Adeleke’s company is already a significant contributor to the country’s power supply. He said he is collaborating with Chinese engineering companies to complete the new power plant, which is expected to become operational by January.
The 1,250MW power plant, he said, will be the biggest thermal power plant in Nigeria.“In Nigeria, I am in the electricity business; I own a power plant, and presently, I generate about 15% of the electricity needs for Nigeria. I have Chinese Engineering companies that work.
” I am building and almost completed in January by the grace of God my new power plant to be the biggest power plant in Nigeria. It is a 1,250MW power plant to become operational in January,” he said in part.
