The Lagos State Government has intensified efforts to deliver stable electricity to Ibeju-Lekki with a high-level stakeholders’ meeting on the proposed 132KV/33KV power substation at Sapati Village.
Epe Insights reports that the meeting was held at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Alausa, Ikeja, and was chaired by the Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr Biodun Ogunleye.
In his opening remarks, the commissioner conveyed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive, stressing that stable electricity and gas infrastructure for Ibeju-Lekki remains a top priority of the present administration.
He noted that residents of the axis have endured years of inadequate power supply and assured that the state is committed to ensuring reliable electricity across the Lekki-Epe corridor.
Deliberations focused on lingering Gaslink challenges, evaluation of power and gas infrastructure needs, and practical solutions to support sustainable electricity delivery in the area.
Several MDAs were represented, including the Ministries of Works and Infrastructure, Environment and Water Resources, Physical Planning and Urban Development, and agencies such as LERC, LASIMRA, NTDA, and the Lands Bureau.
The meeting reviewed the implementation of the 104-metre right-of-way for gas infrastructure and the 132KV transmission line up to Eleko Junction, alongside resolutions on identified bottlenecks.
Mr Ogunleye disclosed that gas construction has reached Abraham Adesanya Junction, with plans to extend to Alaro City, while contractors engaged by the Federal Government have been fully paid.
MDAs were directed to submit ROW sign-offs by January 23, while compensation requirements and drainage alignments are to be concluded by January 26.
The state reaffirmed its resolve to fast-track the project, noting it will boost economic activities and unlock Ibeju-Lekki’s development potential.
