Ojediran, represented by the Institution ‘s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ngozi Arisa, the don emphasized the need for the federal government to work assiduously in providing stability in power supply to reduce the number of companies folding up.

He noted that any new company cannot survive without stable power supply as people spend so much money to generate electricity.
