Participants of the Senior Executive Course 45, 2023 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos, have been received by Governor Dapo Abiodun in Ogun State. During the meeting, the Governor spoke about the constitutional amendment that has removed power generation from the exclusive list to the concurrent list.
This means that power generation and distribution can now be done by the state, providing more power to major towns and cities, and subsequently to smaller towns. The Governor also spoke about the launch of two new programs: E-mobility and Gas Mobility. These programs will enable mass transit buses to run on Gas, while tricycles and motorcycles will run on electricity. The Governor is optimistic that these initiatives will cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal currently being experienced by the people of the state.
