It's permit fees and not tax. Lagos is not a village or lawless state where you can do as you wish. To those that can't read. He explained that only residents living in government-owned social housing estates are charged administrative fees for alterations, including the installation of solar power systems. Ajetunmobi said the requirement is linked to the government’s responsibility as facility manager of the estates, noting that solar installations are treated as structural alterations, especially when they affect shared spaces or the original design of buildings. “Only residents living in government-owned social housing estates are charged administrative fees for alterations, such as the installation of a solar power system, before any additional development can be permitted,” he said. |

They don't give you anything in return but courageous of them to tax you. Repost👇 Nigerians have normalized living with generators that people don't know how clownish they are when they explain it away. We built Lagos indeed. One of the things that never impressed me about Tinubu and I choose Tinubu because he had the chance to change this back then in the 99 - 07, was the failure to make Lagos Water Corporation supply the state. That was a monumental failure if you recognize how much Jakande did in 4 years for a Lagos of our dreams. Pure water made its debut in Lagos around the early 2000s. Government watched on. If you were a child who took water from the tap on the public, raise your hands up 🙌 If a government, whether it's Tinubu or not cannot provide the basic infrastructure such as water, light and good roads, F9 ❌ Yesterday, someone said luxurious is the most abused word used in Nigeria today. And the person said they use the term luxury because most Nigerians have not been given the basics or experienced it before so anyone can say their solar is luxury 😔 The defenders of the government never experienced anything better, so they think defending the government is better and constructive criticism is bitter! Now, the IPP Tinubu fought Obasanjo for, Lagos has the golden chance to generate its electricity and do far better than what Abia's Orji is currently bragging about, but instead of them to ask questions, they prefer all of you to be fighting ethnic and religious fights so they can never be held accountable. Who loses? You the foolish people who let politicians play their cards on you. Lagos is trying to keep the environment clean when Fashola did his home work. Sanwoolu is still struggling with administering a clean city. Ambode came and visionscaped everything away. Yet, they say they had a masterplan. Fashola also blamed the FG for the electricity independence and they finally got to power in 2015. They've been there for years, no opposition but light up Lagos is what Sanwo-Olu is celebrating in 2026 after Ambode made that his first 100 days project in 2015. Make it make sense. Your leaders are evil. Instead of serving you, they corner your resources and always want to settle contractors so the money can come back to them. No light, no water. Bad environment, bad water. Bad waste, dirty water. Chai. You all are comfortable with sleeping with your oppressors. You provide your own electricity (generator) You provide your own water (bore hole) You provide your own road (patch) You provide your own housing (build your own) You provide your own drinking water (pure water) You provide your own waste management system And they tax you upon all of these. You must be so in love with yourself that you will allow a government abuse you this much. They tax you for not doing their jobs. Oyo State wanted to tax those who dug boreholes but they were quiet about the negligence of the state to provide water to the people. And they had an engineer as Governor. Your politicians are very very very very wicked people. SixSeven: |

Solar tax 😂🤣😂🤣 They will form another ”Agbero” that will be collecting that! It is part of “Eko o ni baje” when everything has already baje! Lagosians can’t swallow their shame and why they keep voting APC into power. The state is retrogressing but they will never accept! Our own Nigerian MAGA set. |

The only thing Tinubu taught Southwest leaders is how to tax their people to more poverty and lack. I have never seen a leader like this. You failed in managing and giving sincere account of how you manage resources from natural resources of the nation. You failed in managing revenues from indirect taxes, levies....loans. Now you want to expand the tax net and some people are supporting you claiming other nations pay tax.....but they forgot that those nations are very accountable to their citizens. |

Hahahaa, this is so funny. State govt that should be apologizing to citizens for lack of electriicty is charging them installation fee for alternative energy. Time don reach Nigerians should start suing govt for failure to provide their social contract of which electricity is part of it. Shame no dey catch Nigeria at all. Someone was even defending it. Like u didnt provide citizens with electricity and u are charging them to get an alternative power, haaaaa. |

HacheNoire:Why Solar Tax? I don't understand the greed and wickedness! You can't provide Electricity for your Citizens, they painstakingly try to help themselves you still wan dey strangle them! Very wicked to themselves as a People! I've traveled all around the World, I have never seen any that don't love their very own fellow like this. There are African Countries where I didn't experience a single fight among people for 2 Years that I love there. But you see this my People, just going from Home to work when I was in Lagos gets me wondering why the frequent rough fights among my People at almost every Bus Stop. As my very own People, after seeing awesome brotherly Uniting Life among several African People, I've fasted and prayed for my People, don't know what to do anymore. If you know anyone that has health issues contact me, even if you have been told is incurable. No disease is incurable, I know it's hard to believe because mainstream fed us their mind controlling narratives for so long. |

saintbillion:They even promised end to estimated billing, only for his power minister to give us bandits https://www.tiktok.com/video/7632614041709546759 When they invited Bwala to speak about it, what did he do? Make it about 2027 voting. It's never been this bad and those who think it will stop if this man rigs his way into office next year are joking. They will start the politics of 2013 and who will succeed who https://www.tiktok.com/video/7647899475012357398 |

I thought the tax is for those living in government estates and such tax is part of the agreement to those people in the estate! It is not a general rule! Make people no just dey blame Government unneccessarily! |

It should rather be regulations not a fee that would add a burden to the civil servants living there. Also, why not use the opportunity to build a utility scale solar power and sell to the residents? It will be safer and more effective, and also less visual pollution |

People are not seeing steady power and you're taxing them on the little one they use to survive. Wicked government |

Lagos state government doing too much and acting like shameless extortionist. The sun is free so why are u taxing direct sunlight?? And their useless argurment of alteration can only be applicable to Large solar commercial plant installation which can be taxed but not private home inverter solar. Its like taxing my generator. Kilode ![]() |

Josywhyte:You have figured out wicked Tinubu’s lootocracy master plan for Lagos State since 1999, which he is now using to ruin the entire country. It’s the agbalọwọmeri jẹgudujẹra modus operandi for afẹnifẹbis.

There's a need for serious resistance in all of these unfriendly policies and I know their scheme, trying to create a class of rich and poor. They see it as a capital offense for an ordinary citizen to be able to afford what they can. They will use their very hand to cause serious breakdown in law and order. We're watching on..... ![]() |
