Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday,
said the solution to the problem of power sector could
be achieved in six months if the Distribution Companies,
DISCOs, were ready to yield some percentages of their
concessions to the state government.
Fashola made this statement at the commissioning of the
1.2 kilometer Glover Road and 8.5 megawatts, Peninsula
Integrated Power Project, PIPP, Lekki, Eti-Osa Local
Government Area.
The governor, while commissioning the fifth IPP, said:
“Let the EKO DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part
of their concessioning to the state government. In about
six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in
Lagos State.
“So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver
power for the entire country. This is the limit to which
the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a
statement that power can be generated.
‘’So, when they come with lies that power is impossible,
you can tell them that we have power here; we make it
possible.”
He opined that the project showed that the money to
improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t
need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”
Fashola noted that he felt fulfilled with the conduct of
youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties
in getting to the finishing point.
Explaining the importance of the project, the governor
said the project, courtesy of the state government, in
partnership with PIPP and Heritage Bank, would help to
provide power supply to power the Lagos State public
water corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria
Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lighting
in the Lekki axis.
Earlier, Commissioner, Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources, Engr. Taofeek Tijani, said the new addition
was about continuity in public infrastructure programme
of the state government.
General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola
Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and
sustainable power projects are possible through the
youths. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/power-supply-all-homes-in-lagos-will-be-lit-in-six-months-if-fashola/
