Adedeji Adeleke’s Faith Overcomes Political Hurdles in $2B Power Plant Project

Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, a renowned Nigerian businessman and father to superstar musician Davido, recently opened up about his harrowing experience while trying to build a $2 billion (₦3.418 trillion) power plant in Nigeria. The project, which is set to provide 1,250 megawatts of electricity, encountered numerous challenges, particularly from a government official determined to prevent it from coming to life. In a heartwarming speech delivered at a conference in Maryland, USA, on October 15, 2024, Dr. Adeleke credited divine intervention for the breakthrough that eventually allowed the project to move forward.

The Government Obstacle: A Political Hurdle
Dr. Adeleke explained that during the process of acquiring design approvals and permits for the power plant, a powerful government official stood in the way of the project’s progress. Though he did not disclose the official’s name, Adeleke shared that this individual acted as though he had the final say, frustrating the entire process and insisting that the project would never succeed.

Despite the obstacles, Adeleke expressed his belief in God, remaining steadfast in his faith that the project would eventually see the light of day. This spiritual reliance became a key part of the story as the project faced more roadblocks.

The Power of Faith: God Steps In
Throughout his address, Dr. Adeleke emphasized the role that his faith played in overcoming the challenges presented by this government official. He revealed that even though his Chinese business partner, who had invested heavily in the project, was skeptical about relying on divine intervention, Adeleke remained confident. His partner reportedly told him, “God cannot do it,” viewing the situation purely as a business issue.

However, despite his partner’s doubt, Adeleke continued to place his trust in God. His prayers were soon answered when he received a call from the Ministry of Power, asking him to visit the minister. By a twist of fate, the government official who had been blocking the project was away in Germany due to health issues, and the minister—who outranked the official—approved the project in his absence. This approval paved the way for the 1,250-megawatt power plant, which is now set to begin operations in January 2025.

Chinese Partner’s Change of Heart
Following the approval, Dr. Adeleke shared an interesting transformation in his Chinese partner’s attitude. Having witnessed the miraculous way the project had moved forward, the partner began advising Adeleke to continue bringing any difficulties related to the power plant to God. His disbelief in the beginning was replaced by an acknowledgment that Adeleke’s faith had indeed played a role in the success of the project.

Social Media Reactions: A Flood of Responses
