 The governor of Lagos State, Babaji De Sao-Olu, has called on the House of Representatives to allow state governments to have imputes into the 2022 electorate's debut. Governor Sao-Olu said these during the handover ceremony of the Lagos State Integrated Energy Resource Plan IPR by the head of Power Africa, Mark Carrato. Plus, if any news corresponded, Law of Icoco Oyadokou tells us more in this report. The Lagos State Integrated Resource Initiative is a 20-year partnership. The project has been undertaken by the Lagos State Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in collaboration with the United States of America through USAID and Power Africa, Nigeria Power Sector Program. It is believed it would transform power deficiencies in Africa which will allow states to generate their own electricity and develop at their own pace. It's about the power of partnership that I see, will, and you started very well. Eight years ago, when your former president started this Power Africa initiative, which you were part of way back then, it's something that we believe if we were all running well, we would certainly transform the power deficiency in Africa and the most important thing is that these are going to be implemented by Africans with some sort of like an African solution in different jurisdictions. The Lagos State Chief Executive, however, calls on the Speaker of the House of Representatives to ensure that all issues on the electricity bill are resolved. It comes in that bill for the Honorable Members of the House of Red to call the governors or to call the sub-nationals, the state, so that we have proper input into this bill so that we can finally, finally, on bondage all of the bottlenecks in the power sector so that we and they can see what our challenges are and we can see them together and they can bring about, you know, a bill that is bankable, a bill that will help, you know, private sector funding and financing into this sector and a bill in which everybody can move at their pace. Olalere Odushota is the state commissioner for energy and mineral resources. He says the initiative involving the two electricity distribution companies in Lagos, Ikeja and EcoDiscourse will boost power supply. From the advent of this administration, he has made it clear that electricity is a focus of his and one of the ways we've identified towards achieving the electricity transformation of Lagos is to take Lagos State distribution away from the national grid. This IRP helps us document the infrastructure requirements and the gaps that exist and it gives us, it gives Lagos State a medium-term, a short-term and a long-term strategy to achieving the power sector stability that we want. The benefit of uninterrupted electricity to economic growth, trade and investments cannot be overemphasized, but Nigeria is not there yet. The electricity program is said to be a 20-year plan.
