Lagos State Makes Move To Generate And Distribute Electricity Independently by Dreyxam(op): 5:29am On Dec 20, 2017
Honourable Sanai O. Agunbiade, Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly, has made known that that state government is making a move to reform the energy sector.

In an exclusive interview with Newsroom.ng, Agunbiade revealed that the state government is having a reform of the energy sector, where Lagos will be able to generate and distribute its own power independently.

Agunbiade disclosed that the move is to boost the economy of the state. He said, “as you know power supply plays a vital role when it comes to the driving of any economy. As a matter of fact, it is a primary driver of the economy.

“With the reform, the state would have enough economy to power its economy; it also means the economy of Lagos State can run 24hours. More so, there will be more job for people, which implies that there will be more investors, more commercial activities around the clock.”

Agunbiade further lamented that there is no constituency project at the Lagos State House of Assembly. “No money is given to parliamentarians and legislators to execute projects in within their respective constituency.” He added.

When asked what the House is doing to encourage youths’ involvement in politics. He said the House has nothing to do with encouraging the youths.

His words; “The youths need to encourage themselves, it is an open theatre. Nobody invited most of us to go there, all you need to do is to develop interest. A lot of people admire to be a member of the parliament and has never been there for once, nor watch the proceedings.

“Don’t stay and condemn people that are there, saying they don’t know how to do it. It is not about age but about passion and what you can offer.”

From Lagos, I remembered Fashola said the same thing and here we are. They better do something before 2019, all APC before alarm blow. People are not happy and the economy is not working. Is like we are under spiritual bondage, the hunger and pain in the land is just too bad. APC need to put smile on the faces of the people.

National grid is unarguably the reason for epileptic power supply in Nigeria.
