In a bid to ensure that Lagos State attains its minimum electricity supply of 10,000 megawatts, Governor Babatunde Fashola has called for a legislation that will empower each state of the federation to generate and transmit electricity for the benefits of its citizenry.
Speaking at a Community Enterprise Development Conference held in Lagos recently, Fashola decried what he called federal government policies that are not effective, especially in the area of electricity generation.
He also indicated the readiness of the state government to partner credible investors in implementing a framework that will harness the state’s renewable energy resources.
The governor also called on investors to take advantage of abundant renewable resources like solar, biomass, wind, hydro and tidal waves with low greenhouse gas emission coefficients and primary energy factors.
According to him, this will ensure availability, accessibility and affordability to modern energy for economic and commercial activities.
