The Lagos State House of Assembly has conducted a public hearing on the proposed State Electricity Bill 2024, which aims to repeal
the existing 2018 power sector reform law.
Chairman, House Committee on Energy and Mineral Resources, Hon. Sabur Oluwa, said the bill seeks to provide the creation and administration of the Lagos electricity market. “We are going to create a Lagos State Electricity Agency to manage public electricity work and infrastructure as well as Lagos State Electrification Fund. These institutions will play a pivotal role in the delivery of reliable electricity to our 21st-century and underserved areas of Lagos State. Through this initiative, we aim to bridge the gap in electricity supply and enhance the quality of life for all Lagosians.
He stressed that the bill aligns with the Assembly’s commitment to improving the electricity situation in the state. With the Federal Government placing electricity on the concurrent list, the state has decided to take decisive action and set a standard for others to follow.
