Laughable. A Government estate should've been more empathetic than private a owned estate but the reverse is the case here.

Suspend the permit for now due to the hardship and epileptic power situation in the country.
Citizens provide water, security, conducive environment and now power but the government still want to find a water to milk them.

Nigeria is really a crime scene

lawani:
So something that is standard practice all over the world should not be done in Lagos or Nigeria? But that is like saying this is the only way but you must not use it!

Bro dey calm down...that idea can't work in Lagos or Nigeria at large

Make disco add solar installation to their already heavy burden of providing power....same provision that is unstable...

And agbero will be installed to enforce the directive as usual. And Lagos state government that are not nice can demolish a building if they find out that the occupants are defaulting

What you don't know is, if this clarification wasn't done now, same officials will soon start going to privately owned houses for extortion!!! Thank God the video was made, now the public have been well enlightened.

This is very simple, it's global practice.
I don't understand why people go crazy over little issues.

I hear they would soon introduce food permit. So essentially before you buy food for yourself and your family, you have to show your permit to the Lagos food purchase management authorities (LAFPMA)

Islie:
The clarification followed a viral video in which officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Housing were seen confronting a resident over solar panels installed in a state-owned estate.

It's only those who don't know don't know.
Installing a solar panel whatsoever on your existing roof building or else where cannot be considered a structural alterations......
They are trying to use ambuity of words to defraud in government owned estates.

Government wey no provide stable electricity for users.
Nigerians are just too docile to the Nigerian system.

Dude is right. By the time majority of Nigerians switch to Solar and dump the comatose PHCN, this kind of govt wont give a hoot about fleecing the citizens more via 'Solar Use Tax'.

Just try and read na... All in the name of "first to comment," you simply failed to read and understand before rushing to respond.

get out, if not for viral video, they want to start taxing people for installing solar be that, what do you mean by global practice? Better country put good infrastructure in place for people before taxing them, where is infrastructure in Nigeria, na people like you dey allow government to keep misbehaving

Is it standard practice all over the world also to go days, weeks and sometimes months without power? All over the world solar power is optional, its for emergency situations, special situations like living off grid or to lower energy costs. In Nigeria its a necessity for living and doing business.

Kingluqman:
I even thought it's his personal property

Read well and understand.
He has purchased the property already.

franchasng:
This is the standard practice in sane nations like where I once resided but should never be practiced in Nigeria where government and everything that has to do with it is known for failure.



Lagos state and taxing every damn thing yet cannot provide excellent roads and security for its residents, ire oh

No way. It's like telling me to pay before installing an air conditioner to cool my home due to hot weather.

Where did you reside abroad that requested for payment or permit before a Soler installation?

The Soler companies already have the permit and their licensed workers are well trained so that cuts your business with any government official.

Kingluqman:

poor man with envy. It his personal property Offcourse, he bought it from the government

lawani:
Franchasng is someone who thinks black people are not fully capable humans according to his posts here. I don't believe his reasons are valid reasons

He is right.

90% of black people lack any atom of civic sense... They only care about themselves and how any situation can benefit them.

0 spirit of selfless leadership... There's no single successful black country.

you all only take the ones that will remove from the poor populace in the name of global practice. How about improving the lives of the impoverished terrorised people like it's done in most parts of the global economies?

In 1999 America were celebrating 100 years with power failure for a single day.
Someone was born till he die has never experienced darkness.
But us we were born in darkness and most of us wey no get solar want to die in darkness.

No mind APC apologists. They use whataboutism to justify all exploitation of the Nigerian masses by the government

International standard practices should be done first with the government providing basic amenities for it's citizens

azpekuliar:
Ofcourse, you will test run it in your private estates first then roll it out statewide later on. We know the game.

You are even encouraging it already with this your comment and that is one of their plans of getting peoples opinion before they kick start

sagitariusbaby:

no mind them, dem no see that one,
they only see how the European and Americans are being tax and they copy but they won't see how these countries are living well and allow Nigerians too to live well too
the other time Lagos was shouting tax tax tax, they want to collect from every worker but they never mentioned anything about tax return, a friend of mine in the UK gets tax return of £10,000 return every year

Which will eventually extend to privately owned property, with time.

Providing basic stable electricity is also standard practice. They should concentrate in doing that first.

Federal govt will look at this and want to conjure something because this one is based on lagos state estates.

Na so Fashila been one start one kkain levy on generators that year.

Are you people mad, so someone installed solar in his house and must get permit asn?

Why are you people bent on to destroy Tinubu efforts with all these unecessary neck pressing of the society?

Why do you people just want the public to hate Tinubu govt more? We are doing all it takes to make sure the reform hit target and people can breath fresh air yet you bitch kept bringing up stew-pid issues then denied it.

Sanwo are you mad or something? Your govt bulldozed properties under high tension and went back to resale the bulldozed land to your fellows we are still trying to stop it and you came up with solar shit, Sanwo ogun wan kee you or what?

Sanwo if you don't behave yourself we are going to block you from leaving govefnor seat and become senator you know since 2023 you already offended us for allowing that useless I d I o t eze efu to win Lagos we haven't forget yet.

Whenever bad things want to enter Nigeria,they come through Lagos. How can the people be paying for government ineptitude? Lagos Governments have always been the worst in Nigeria.

wirinet:

They want to draw the attention of people to solar energy so that they will divert the electricity and sell on a higher price to neighborhood countries.
We sold electricity to Niger republic but they never lack electricity.
Go to Togo, Cotonou, Benin republic and Ivory coast we give them light while they are doing better than us.

ceejay80s:

Most of those people are really benefiting now, you need to see the life they are living now. E.g the egbero, the way they are all buying cars and using expensive phones and they even own a house now is alarming. Government have really enrich those area boys by handling their area to them

Exousiang01:

People use solar to save cost. We use solar here because government can’t give us light.
Now government want to charge us for solar lol

When I first saw the caption, I became outraged but then when I read and saw "state-owned estate", I know say na family matter. They shouldn't extend it outside their estates sha

lawani:
All solar installations should be under discos who should be free to connect the power to other users while paying the owner of the installation. The owner of the installation too should be metered

This move can guarantee power for Nigerians for when the sun is up

A private 2KVA inverter should be connected to the grid? How does that sound in your ears? Must you people defend every government excesses ?

But Govt no longer owns it, if it has been bought and handed over to the owner.

If it's in Govt-owned estates, it's understandable but if the residents have paid in full for the flats then it no longer applies.

This statement says the man didn't understand the regulation handed over in the indemnities when the flat was purchased. It therefore means, in this particular case, the house has been bought and fully handed over. So govt can't regulate what he wants to do in his property any longer.
