ElectricityAs part of efforts to support economic development, the Lagos State House of Assembly is set to pass a bill to strengthen electricity generation in the state.
The bill, which went through public hearing yesterday, is titled: “Lagos State Electric Power Sector Reform Bill.”
According to the Chairman of the Adhoc Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Mr. Folajimi Mohammed, epileptic power supply had caused major setbacks to the nation’s economy.
He stressed that the problem in the energy sector couldn’t be left with the Federal Government alone, hence the need for collaboration in the value chain.
Mohammed hinted that the power project would bring a new way of life to the people, as there would be an uninterrupted power supply.
The Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, who was represented by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Wasiu Sanni Eshinlokun, expressed the hope that the project would have multiple effects on the state’s economy.
