Nigeria and Lagos Collaborate for 24/7 Power Initiative
The Federal Government of Nigeria and Lagos State have entered into a partnership to deliver stable and reliable electricity through the 24/7 Energy Zones pilot program, as approved by President Bola Tinubu. This agreement was established during a high-level technical session at the Lagos House, Marina, involving Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe and Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The pilot will initially focus on the Lagos corridor and will later expand to the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano and Enugu-Port Harcourt corridors. Minister Tegbe confirmed that the Ministry of Power has secured commitments from distribution companies to enhance power delivery in Lagos.
He expressed readiness to collaborate with Lagos on four key areas: Grid Stabilization, Market Liquidity, Grid Expansion, and Governance and Regulatory Harmonization. Governor Sanwo-Olu praised the federal delegation's commitment and emphasized the need for practical solutions to improve the electricity sector for Lagosians.
