The Honourable Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has announced the launch of a large-scale empowerment and economic support programme to mark his 55th birthday celebration.

The initiative, implemented through the Bayo Adelabu Foundation (BAF), continues his annual tradition of giving back to the society with more inclusivity.

This year’s programme is conceived as an expression of gratitude to the people of Oyo State and well-wishers nationwide, following the overwhelming goodwill gestures, prayers, and congratulatory messages received on his birthday. 

Chief Adelabu also described the initiative as a way of appreciating the Almighty God for guidance, protection, and blessings in his personal and professional career.

In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Strategic Communication and Media Relations, Mr. Bolaji Tunji, the Minister, expressed deep appreciation for the support he has enjoyed, describing it as humbly inspiring. 

He emphasized that the empowerment programme reflects his unwavering commitment to giving back, investing in  people, and supporting the socio-economic growth of Oyo State in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“The love shown to me has reinforced my dedication to our shared vision of a prosperous Oyo State. This empowerment programme is a sincere token of my appreciation, designed to provide tangible support and create opportunities for sustainable growth for the very pillars of our society,” Adelabu stated.

The Mega Empowerment and Economic Support Programme will be implemented in weekly phases to ensure orderliness and meaningful engagement, adding that  beneficiaries will cut across diverse groups, including market women, traders, artisans, farmers, students, widows, orphanages, and persons with disabilities. Faith-based communities such as the Muslim community, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and traditional worshippers, among others.

The statement noted that the programme will be extended to key political structures and support networks, including APC women, youths, leaders, and voluntary support groups across the 33 local government areas of Oyo state. 

Provisions have also been made for major ethnic communities, theatre practitioners, as well as journalists in print, broadcast, and digital media and as well the APC media team and Adelabu support groups are also among the beneficiaries.

The empowerment packages will be tailored to meet specific needs, ranging from business grants and modern tools to educational scholarships, mobility aids, group resource support, and cost-of-living relief for vulnerable households.
