FG inaugurates $500m power transmission project for Lagos-Ogun industrial corridor

The Lagos-Ogun industrial corridor is a key industrial hub in southwestern Nigeria, featuring a high concentration of manufacturing industries and economic activities, but facing challenges such as inadequate power supply and poor infrastructure, which the $500m JICA project aims to address.

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, announced while playing host to the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, in Abuja.

The JICA project aims to boost power transmission infrastructure within and outside the Ogun industrial corridors, covering Agbara, Mowe, and Shagamu industrial clusters.

“This will involve building additional power transmission substations and upgrading existing ones, as well as reconductoring existing weak high voltage power lines and new extensions for capacity strengthening and expansion,” Adelabu said.
