Sanwo-olu Signed into Law Lagos Electricity Bill

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has signed the Lagos Electricity Bill 2024 into law, a pivotal step towards ensuring 24-hour electricity supply across the state. The Governor assented to the bill on Tuesday, as disclosed by Gboyega Akosile, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the Lagos State Governor, via his official X (formerly Twitter) account. Akosile’s tweet noted that this signing follows the Federal Government’s approval in 2023, which granted states the authority to generate and distribute electricity, paving the way for Lagos to take control of its power supply and distribution.
