Sanwo-Olu described LASERC’s formation as a “historic milestone,” coming on the heels of the 2024 Lagos Electricity Bill and the state’s new regulatory autonomy from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). He noted that LASERC will spearhead efforts to regulate tariffs, drive renewable energy, and expand electrification to underserved communities.
On TESCOM, he stressed the importance of strengthening public education, while also highlighting LASIEC’s crucial role in upholding electoral integrity, especially ahead of the July 12 local government elections.
“To the people of Lagos, be assured that we are committed to building a state where every child can access quality education, every vote counts, and electricity is affordable and reliable,” the Governor said.
Earlier, Head of Service Mr. Bode Agoro reminded the appointees that their roles are not just positions of privilege, but calls to service. He noted that the LASERC appointments are particularly significant, reflecting ongoing reforms aimed at transforming the state’s power sector.
Agoro affirmed that all appointments were made based on merit and in alignment with Governor Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to transparency and excellence in governance.
