 Ogun State Expands Power Infrastructure with Strategic Energy Investments


The Ogun State Government has intensified efforts to achieve energy security through a series of strategic investments under its Light Up Ogun agenda. Central to this initiative is the Oni Jagan-Jagan Independent Power Plant, a flagship project delivering 34 megawatts of gas-powered electricity to key areas including Abeokuta township, Oke-Mosan, and major government offices, parastatals, and Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).


In furtherance of its commitment to reliable power supply, the administration has also enhanced electricity infrastructure at critical locations such as the Gateway International Airport. A 1-megawatt gas-fired system has been installed to ensure uninterrupted power for airport operations, the ARISE development, and newly established customs facilities, reinforcing the state’s drive toward operational efficiency and economic growth.


The government reiterated that these interventions are part of a broader vision to make Ogun State energy-secure and self-reliant. With a structured roadmap for expanding power generation and distribution, the state aims to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity for industries and residents alike, ultimately improving quality of life and supporting long-term development.
