At the end of the Lagos Economic Summit last Thursday, Commissioner Ben Akabueze after a meeting with power investors revealed to newsmen that the poor
electricity supply in Lagos State won’t improve sooner than five years
time. He said:
“The truth from what we heard, it won’t be anything sooner than five
years to see any significant improvement in the power situation and in
the power sector. When they say short term, we are talking about five
years,’
The commissioner said that the purpose of the 7th Lagos Economic Summit, Ehingbeti 2014 which was held
between April 8- 10, 2014, at the Eko convention centre of Eko Hotel in
Lagos
was to present an enabling environment for investors who are
majorly from Europe;
“Well, I think we’ve provided the platform and a good one at that to
discuss the issues; and a lot of people who attended now understand
better, the nature of the power industry, what the issues are, what it
will take to solve them."
The commissioner also allayed fears that the economic summit might be jettisoned by the coming administration.
