You might be surprised to learn that Dr. Deji Adeleke, Davido’s father, is a powerhouse in Nigeria’s energy sector. His company, Pacific Energy, produces an impressive 15% of the country’s electricity!
Speaking at a recent conference, Dr. Adeleke shared his vision for Nigeria’s energy future. He’s investing heavily in a state-of-the-art thermal power plant, set to launch in January 2025. This massive project, built in partnership with Chinese engineering firms, will be Nigeria’s largest thermal plant, generating 1,250 megawatts of power.
The news has sparked excitement and admiration for Dr. Adeleke’s contributions to Nigeria’s growth. Some have even pointed out that Davido, as a director, will likely face increased attention. Others are simply grateful for the significant impact Pacific Energy’s 15% electricity generation will have on everyday Nigerians.
