The Lagos State Government (LASG) has announced its plans to deliver 20 hours of electricity supply to residents of the state. The LASG will provide 50MW of electricity through the Lagos State Electricity Policy (LSEP). In a statement by the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated that the plans aligned with his administration’s efforts to improve electricity access in the state.
“It is time to think outside the box. You can, for instance, begin to think of developing machines that refine raw materials in small qualities to start with but run solely on solar or other forms of clean energy.” Sanwo-Olu said.
“It is not the time to think of things we don’t have; rather, it is the time to maximise the opportunities at our disposal,” he added.
“I want you to know that we, the society, expect more from you in terms of innovation and creativity that will put an end to the challenges of industrialisation in Africa,” he said.
Governor Sanwo-Olu gave assurance of his administration’s willingness to work with sector stakeholders in advancing industrialisation in the state.
