A cornerstone of Governor Seyi Makinde's energy and economic development agenda was a promise to achieve a significant degree of energy self-sufficiency for key state facilities. The administration made a specific, time-bound commitment, to complete the ongoing 11 MW Independent Power Project (IPP) within the first year of being re-elected. This project, equivalent to 15-20% of the power from the national grid, was designed to provide reliable electricity to critical government infrastructures like the State Secretariat, Judiciary complexes, and selected healthcare facilities.

The status of this promise is mired in ambiguity. Based on the government's statement and the lack of verifiable evidence, the promise is assessed as Unverified and likely not fulfilled as pledged.

The promise to complete the 11 MW Independent Power Project within one year appears to have fallen short of its specific terms. The government's announcement of a completed "first phase" implicitly acknowledges that the full project was not delivered as scheduled.
