IBADAN – THE Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, on Friday, October 31, 2025, disbursed N100 million as business support grants to traders, artisans, and farmers across Oyo State.
The initiative, tagged “2025 Mega Empowerment and Economic Relief Programme Series,” is part of the minister’s efforts to alleviate the economic hardship faced by residents of the state.
Adelabu, who is also a 2027 governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, said the gesture was aimed at giving back to society and supporting small-scale business owners struggling with the current economic realities.
He explained that the empowerment programme was not politically motivated but an act of gratitude and community support.
“This empowerment is not about politics. I am using it to thank God for His mercy on me, so I’m giving back to society,” he said.
Adelabu acknowledged the current economic challenges across the country, stressing the need for targeted relief measures for traders, artisans, and farmers to cushion the effects of inflation and other hardships.
