Passage of Electricity Market Law shows Osun Government’s commitment to progressive reforms — NUEE President

The National President of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), Comrade Biyi Adeyeye, has applauded the Osun State Government and the State House of Assembly for the passage of the Osun Electricity Market Bill into law.

Comrade Adeyeye described the legislation as a bold, transformative initiative capable of revitalizing Osun State’s economy while addressing the long-standing electricity supply challenges that have plagued the state and many parts of Nigeria for decades.

He particularly commended Governor Ademola Adeleke for his visionary leadership in initiating and championing the bill, which he said has positioned Osun as one of the first subnational entities to fully embrace the constitutional amendment that removed electricity from the exclusive legislative list.

“This is a landmark achievement,” Adeyeye stated. “The passage of this bill shows that Osun State is forward-thinking and ready to take its economic destiny into its own hands. It opens the door for private and public sector investments in power generation and distribution, especially in off-grid and renewable energy systems.”

He noted that this development will not only attract both local and international investors, but will also create jobs, promote industrialization, and improve the quality of life for residents of Osun State.

“This is the kind of progress we have been advocating for over the years, for state governments to be allowed to design and implement their own electricity market frameworks. Now that the federal monopoly has been broken, Osun has shown others the way,” Adeyeye added.

The NUEE President emphasized that labor unions, particularly those in the power sector, are ready to collaborate with the Osun government in ensuring that the implementation of the new law protects workers' rights while also delivering improved electricity access to the people.

He called on other states to take a cue from Osun by enacting similar legal and institutional frameworks that will enable them to harness their energy potential for development and economic independence.

“Governor Adeleke and the Osun State House of Assembly have taken a courageous and commendable step. We urge them to ensure the speedy implementation of the law so that the people of Osun can begin to feel its positive impact in real time,” Adeyeye concluded.

AYEDADE – 4/07/2025

Hon. Abdul-Jeleel Abiodun Samakin, the Senior Special Assistant to the Executive Governor of Osun State on Media Monitoring and Director of Youth and Women Mobilization for the Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Senator Olalere Oyewumi, has launched a far-reaching grassroots initiative in Ayedade Local Government. The program, which commenced in Ward 06, Lagere-Amola Quarters, Odeomu, is designed to support youth engagement, medical outreach, business empowerment, and the welfare of the less privileged.

Speaking at the launch, Comrade Samakin said that the initiative is a response to the financial and health-related challenges faced by residents. “We noticed our people are going through a lot, and this is our little way of easing their burden,” he stated. The program is set to impact over 1,000 beneficiaries across all 11 wards in Ayedade Local Government within a five-year period, with beneficiaries already selected from various polling units starting from Ward 06.

As part of the initiative’s first phase, Hon. Samakin disbursed a total sum of ₦1 million in business support grants to selected small-scale traders and artisans across Ward 06 in Odeomu. The beneficiaries, drawn from various polling units, received financial assistance tailored to boost their existing businesses and ease the burden of operational costs in the current economic climate. The fund distribution was carried out transparently in the presence of community leaders and stakeholders. Beneficiaries expressed deep appreciation for the timely intervention, describing it as a lifeline that would strengthen their businesses and improve household livelihoods.

He explained that the youth engagement component will be participatory, involving direct dialogue with young people across the community to identify their challenges and aspirations. "This is not just an empowerment project, it’s a platform for listening, for connection, and for delivering the feedback of our youth to the Executive Governor, who is known for his responsiveness," he added. The medical outreach arm of the initiative aims to improve access to quality healthcare services for grassroots dwellers, particularly women and children.

Comrade Samakin affirmed that the entire initiative aligns with the vision of Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, whose administration remains committed to bringing governance closer to the people. “Our governor is passionate about transforming Osun through infrastructure and human development. This initiative complements his efforts by ensuring that our people feel the true dividends of democracy,” he noted.

He further urged residents to remain supportive of the current administration and the People Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2026 elections. “Let us sustain the momentum we built in the last election. I encourage everyone to maintain strong grassroots structures and be ready to deliver every polling unit for the PDP,” he said. He also appreciated the local leaders, coordinators, and volunteers who helped actualize the initiative, noting that it had been in the works since 2024.

In closing, Hon. Samakin congratulated the first batch of beneficiaries and reassured others across Wards 1 to 11 to be patient as the program unfolds. “This is just the beginning. Our goal is to reach every corner of Ayedade Local Government. With the support of our leaders and the trust of our people, we are confident that this initiative will leave a lasting impact on the lives of many,” he concluded.
