Ayo Gbeleyi

Ayo Gbeleyi is the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises in Nigeria, where he plays a crucial role in overseeing the privatization and regulation of public enterprises, particularly in the power sector. Recently, he was in the news due to a conflict between the Federal Government and electricity distribution companies regarding the implementation of a free metering initiative aimed at improving electricity access. Gbeleyi clarified that while the meters are provided at no upfront cost to consumers, the costs are ultimately embedded in consumer tariffs, addressing misconceptions raised by distribution companies about financial responsibilities.
