The Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has tendered a letter of resignation as Minister of Power.
Chief Adelabu tendered his resignation Letter to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume, after he met with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
In the resignation letter addressed to the President, Chief Adelabu stated that his resignation would take effect on April 30, 2026, to enable him to focus on his governorship ambition in Oyo State.
The Minister of Power in the letter of resignation also proposed the establishment of a Coordinating Minister for Energy to drive integrated reforms across Nigeria’s Power, Gas, and related sectors.
He emphasised that sustaining and consolidating the gains recorded in the power sector required stronger coordination at the highest level, including the appointment of a central authority to harmonise policy direction and execution.
Confirming the development, Special Adviser to the Minister on Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Bolaji Tunji, said Chief Adelabu expressed deep appreciation to President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve, describing his tenure as a privilege to contribute to national development.
