The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has resigned from his position effective April 30, 2026. His media aide, Bolaji Tunji, confirmed the resignation in a statement, stating that Adelabu submitted his letter to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The statement did not disclose the reasons for the resignation. No official response from the presidency or the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has been released. Adelabu's tenure as Minister of Power began in 2023 under President Tinubu's administration. His resignation takes effect more than two years before the end of the current administration's term.
Adebayo Adelabu steps down as Power Minister before the end of President Tinubu's first term, with no explanation provided for his departure. The lack of clarity from both the minister and the presidency leaves questions about the stability of key appointments in the administration. Nigerians who rely on consistent power supply have no assurance that leadership changes will bring improved service delivery. The resignation raises doubts about continuity in the sector without a named successor or transition plan.
