He emphasized the importance of embracing technology and fostering strong partnerships with communities, civil society, and the private sector to create an environment that promotes growth and success for teachers, voters, and consumers.

Those members of TESCOM are Mrs. Mopelola Peregrino (Chairman); Mrs. Kafayat Ajenifuja (Commissioner I); Mr. Abiodun Bamgboye (Commissioner II); Hon. Segun Agbaje (Commissioner III) and Mrs. Abimbola Idowu (Commissioner IV), while Prince Adewale Ojora was sworn in as Member of LASIEC.

The Chairman and Members of LASERC are Engr. Abimbola Odubiyi (Chairman/Non-Executive Member); Mr. Tunde Gbajumo (Non-Executive Member); Dr. Fouad Animasahun (Executive Member/CEO); Barr. Kofoworola Olokun-Olawoyin (Executive Member); and Engr. Oluwaseun Fadare (Executive Member).

Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized his administration’s dedication to providing the necessary resources and support for the newly appointed officials.

The Governor highlighted the importance of the commissions in advancing the state’s THEMES+ agenda, focusing on innovation, good governance, and inclusive growth.

Governor Sanwo-Olu noted that the establishment of LASERC marks a historic milestone in the state’s energy sector. “Following the Lagos Electricity Bill 2024 and the formal transfer of regulatory oversight from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to LASERC, Lagos has become one of the few states in Nigeria with full regulatory control over its intrastate electricity market.

“LASERC’s mandate is to ensure an affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity supply tailored to Lagos’s unique needs. This includes regulating tariffs, enforcing technical standards, promoting renewable energy integration, combating electricity theft, and driving electrification of underserved communities. The restructuring of Eko Electricity Distribution Plc and Ikeja Electric Plc to create subsidiaries licensed by LASERC will enhance local responsiveness and service delivery,” he said.

The Governor commended LASIEC’s dedication to fairness, impartiality, and proactive stakeholder engagement, particularly in light of the upcoming July 12 local government elections.

“To the people of Lagos State, I encourage you to engage actively, stay informed, and participate confidently in our education, democratic, and energy systems, knowing that your leaders are working tirelessly to protect your interests and improve your quality of life.

“The expectations are high, but so is our belief in your ability to fulfill these sacred mandates with courage, competence, and integrity. Together, let us build a Lagos where every child has access to quality education, every vote counts, and every home and business enjoys reliable and sustainable electricity,” the Governor advised the appointees.
