Ahead of his inauguration as the Chairman of the Board of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has met with the Minister of Power, Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe.
The REA Board is billed to be inaugurated today at 10am, Friday, August 7, 2026, at the Maitama Abuja office of the Ministry of Power.
It should be recalled that President Bola Tinubu had appointed Fayose as chairman of the REA.
The Presidency said Fayose would head the REA board alongside Alhaji Ahmadu Abubakar and Engineer Ilyasu Ibrahim Makinta as members and non-executive directors, while the incumbent Director General of the agency, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, and three executive directors previously appointed will make up the remaining board members.
In preparation for the inauguration, Fayose met the minister of power in his office today, a meeting he said centered on plans to ensure greater effectiveness of the REA.
“I met with the minister of power, Engr. Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, today, and we had fruitful discussions,” Fayose said.
