Federal and Lagos Governments Collaborate on Power Supply

The Federal Government and the Lagos State Government have intensified their collaboration to improve electricity supply in Lagos. This commitment was established during a Ministerial Implementation Retreat hosted by the Lagos State Government, where key stakeholders discussed practical measures to address challenges in the power sector.

Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe stated that the retreat aimed to move beyond policy discussions to develop actionable interventions for a more reliable electricity market. The discussions addressed critical issues such as the electricity market, regulatory framework, and operational challenges that require both immediate and long-term solutions.

Tegbe emphasized Lagos's central role in Nigeria's electricity demand, highlighting the necessity for effective collaboration between federal and state institutions. A steering committee will oversee the implementation of the retreat's decisions.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu described the discussions as productive, aiming to ensure residents experience improved power supply, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s vision for a sustainable electricity system in Nigeria.
