The area of power is one in which Dr. Bukola Saraki has scored unrivalled success in his period in office. Most remarkable has been the completion and commissioning of the Ganmo Power Substation. This was initially a National Independent Power Project of the Federal Government. However, it was abandoned due to a shortfall of funds. The project was adopted by the Kwara State Government under Dr. Bukola Saraki despite the huge cost involved and the limited financial resources of the state. The power substation was commissioned on July 27, 2009 by late President Umaru Musa Yaradua. With the completion of the power substation, Kwara is now one of the few states with 330KVA lines, meaning that the state gets its electricity directly from the generation centre rather than the secondary distribution centre.

The decision to adopt the power project was not a difficult one for the administration of Dr. Bukola Saraki to make, since from the onset he had made the provision of physical infrastructure necessary to promote private investment a priority. The commencement of operation of the power substation has greatly improved electricity supply to residential and industrial locations within the state. With the completion of the power substation, attention has now turned to distribution and transmission. 6 additional injection substations have now been built or are being built to improve the distribution of electricity. The state has also invested heavily in the installation of transformers statewide. There is a very strong rural electrification program in Kwara State, and recently the state has begun looking into possible use of mobile power plants.

Power House Energy Africa has begun talks with the Kwara State Government on the possible use of power generated from industrial and household waste. The company was recently in Kwara State to demonstrate its technology, which is environment friendly. The technology uses a promex ultra-high gassification process. The process does not involve burning, and uses an induction system similar to microwave technology. This is taking place less than one year after the activation of the Ganmo Power Station. The nation and other states definitely have a lot to learn from the administration of Dr. Bukola Saraki on in the area of power, agriculture, education, health, and civil service reforms. Without doubt, he is one of the most successful governors in the area of power within the country.
