Governor Okpebholo To Intervene In Ossiomo Power Plant Ownership Dispute

Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo, plans to meet with the feuding parties over the ownership of Ossiomo Power Plant with a view to restoring electricity to subscribers.

The parties are Ossiomo Power and Infrastructure Company and Jiangsu Communication Clean Energy Technology Company.

Electricity supply to Ossiomo Power subscribers has been cut off since September 1, 2025, when the Chinese partners shut down the power plant.

It was gathered that the Chinese partners took the action after discovering many infractions in the agreement.

A top government official, who confirmed Governor Okpebholo’s planned meeting with the stakeholders, expressed optimism that power supply would be restored after the meeting.

The official, “The state governor has called both shareholders to discuss how to resolve the issue. The meeting will hold this week. Maybe, after the meeting, we will have a positive outcome,” he said.
