The founder, Ilaji Hotels and Resorts, and ICAST, Dotun Sanusi has described the nation’s power sector too worrisome.
The Apesinola of Yoruba Land made this disclosure at a reception programme organized by the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes, CCII, on Friday for the newly appointed minister of Power on Saturday to Ona-Ara Local Goverment Area in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Dotun Sanusi noted that the situation of power in the country is too worrisome and must be given a serious attention by the Tinubu-led administration while the new Power minister, Adebayo Adelabu should brace up for imminent challenges.
In his reaction, the Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu, commended Engr. Dotun Sanusi, owner of Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort, Akanran, for his efforts rural- urban renewal prowess.
The former deputy governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, urged many well-to-do people in the society to emulate Sanusi, who is also an Ibadan mogaji and Otun Apesinola of Ibadanland saying: “Also, I want to commend the Chairman of Ilaji Hotels and Resorts, Engineer Dotun Sanusi for collaborating with the government in the area of rural electrification especially with the donation of over 85 transformers to various communities in the state,” the minister said.
Earlier, the President-General, CCII, Suleiman Ajewole while praying for Adelabu’s success in his present assignment as the Minister for Power, called on him to collaborate with the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Oluwaseyi Makinde for the progress of Ibadanland and Oyo State in general.
Recall, Sanusi strengthened the Akanran communities by erecting more than 200 electricity poles as well as transformers to bring electricity to the areas.
Disturbed by the plight of rural communities in an intense darkness for years, Sanusi recently distributed 85 transformers and other logistics, a development that has been commended not only by the government but by associations and individuals.
