Lack of sufficient energy, bane of industrialisation in Nigeria—Ajimobi

Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has identified lack of sufficient energy as the bane of industrialisation and industrial development in Nigeria.
He stated this while receiving the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Mrs. Dorothy Wenzel, who paid him a courtesy call in his office in Ibadan on Friday.
The governor, who said that the time had come for the country to work on its energy sector, expressed his administration’s readiness to enhance renewable energy to boost socio-economic activities in the state.
“We are interested in your renewable energy programme. Nigeria, today, has the problem of energy; our industrialisation efforts have been hampered by lack of sufficient energy to drive it,” he said.
He also said that his government had embarked on mechanised farming to boost food production in the state, adding that it would also partner with the German government in the area of agriculture to assist peasant farmers.
Earlier in his remarks, the German Ambassador expressed the desire of Germany to support the state in the areas of energy, technical education and skill acquisition.
