Vice-Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University , Ile-Ife, Osun State, Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede

The vice-chancellor said the project, which started in 2017, would be ready by the end of October. He added that the institution was working with a rural electrification agency that would provide a gas-powered turbine which would generate 8.0 megawatts of electricity for the institution. He noted that the university’s daily energy need was below six megawatts, adding that the plant would also power the institution’s teaching hospital while the institution’s neighbouring communities would also benefit from the excess energy that the plant would generate.

“We also have our dam. It is currently being renovated. We will be generating our own water and our own electricity,” he said.
