The Lagos State Government says it would continue to collaborate with
foreign investors for promotion of energy efficiency and conservation
in the State.
The State’s Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello, who spoke
at the opening ceremony of a two-day seminar on renewable energy to
promote energy efficiency and conservation, said Lagos, being the
industrial nerve centre of the state and industrial haven in Nigeria,
would continue to promote acts that that would boost the energy needs of
the state.
Bello added that the seminar was to form a more formidable synergy
with State of Bavaria, Germany, in developing capacity and sharing
experiences on energy sector as this was critical to the development of
the economy as well as the socio-economic growth of the State.
The commissioner said a huge gap existed between energy supply and
demand in Nigeria, adding that the average annual energy consumption in
Nigeria was one of the lowest in the world which had left the economy in
a comatose state.
