The Lagos State Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has requested for submission of position papers and comments from various stakeholders in preparation for a public hearing on the review of the State Power Sector Reform Law of 2018.
A statement issued earlier today by the Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr. Olalere Odusote, said the law will be reviewed to drive investments into the energy sector in Lagos and ensure that Lagosians have access to reliable energy.
While stressing that access to reliable and affordable electricity is critical to economic growth, social development and the achievement of the SDG, Odusote observed that enabling electricity regulations are key requirements for achieving access to reliable electricity.
He therefore requested stakeholders to share electricity sector policies that would promote access to sustainable electricity in Lagos, and solicited that submissions must be made on or before the 3rd of July, 2020.
“A public hearing will be scheduled shortly after receipt of the submissions and interested stakeholders will be required to register to attend,” he said.
The statement indicated that all contributions should be forwarded to the following email addresses: memr@lagosstate.gov.ng, Iseriki@lagosstate.gov.ng, williams.ololade@lagosstate.gov.ng, and uojemeni@lagosstate.gov.ng
