My presence at the Inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV today in Rome, alongside the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Governor Peter Obi Peter Obi, and countless Catholic faithful from across the globe, was both moving and memorable. It brought back memories of my attendance at the inauguration of Pope Francis in 2013. As someone born into the Catholic Church and who continues to hold my faith close, I found deep resonance in Pope Leo’s homily, particularly his call for the restoration of dignity to the poor, the weak, and the marginalised. This message speaks to the very heart of what the modern Catholic Church should embody. In delivering this message, Pope Leo XIV is already aligning his papacy with the legacy of Pope Leo XIII, whose 1891 encyclical, Rerum Novarum, laid the foundation for Catholic Social Teaching. That vision of justice, dignity, and compassion remains as urgent today as it was over a century ago. We pray that Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate will be one of moral courage, spiritual renewal, and transformative leadership for the universal Church and the world. Amen.

I am pleased to learn that the first-ever Independent Power Project (IPP) in Ekiti State has been completed and commissioned by my successor, Governor Biodun Oyebanji Biodun Oyebanji. Two years ago, we initiated this project in response to the very poor #electricity supply to Ekiti through the national grid system. We recognised that the only way to prevent this issue from further negatively impacting our socioeconomic and industrial growth was to provide a significant and innovative intervention. This led us to enter into a partnership with Fenchurch Power Ltd Fenchurch Group NG to independently generate power for the consumption of the state, in addition to what is obtainable from the national grid. With the success of this project, I believe that investors within the power sector will take advantage of the "willing seller, willing buyer" template.
