The Lagos Electricity Policy is to accelerate the ‘Light-up Lagos’ power programme that will drive the social and economic development aspirations of the state in consonance with the government’s 30-year Development Plan (2021 – 2051), currently being developed.
He also said the governor has approved the procurement and installation of 20,000 prepaid meters for low-income communities in the State.
