The Lagos State Government has intensified efforts to provide stable electricity in Ibeju-Lekki with plans to establish a 132KV/33KV Power Substation at Sapati Village.
Eko Hot News reports that the move followed a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja.
The meeting was chaired by the Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr Biodun Ogunleye, in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive on reliable power supply.
Ogunleye stated that addressing electricity and gas infrastructure deficits in Ibeju-Lekki remains a priority of the present administration.
He noted that residents of the area have endured years of unstable electricity, which the government is determined to resolve.
Deliberations focused on lingering Gaslink challenges and strategies for effective electricity and gas delivery along the Lekki-Epe corridor.
Several Ministries, Departments, and Agencies were represented, including Works and Infrastructure, Environment and Water Resources, LERC, LASIMRA, Lands Bureau, and Physical Planning.
Key agenda items reviewed included progress on the right-of-way for gas infrastructure and the 132KV transmission line to Eleko Junction.
Updates were also provided on the implementation status of previous resolutions and identified project bottlenecks.
Briefing stakeholders, the Commissioner disclosed that gas pipeline construction has reached Abraham Adesanya Junction.
He added that the remaining section will extend to Alaro City, with a 104-metre right-of-way reserved for the project.
Ogunleye confirmed that Federal Government contractors have been fully paid, stressing the need for sustained inter-agency monitoring.
He directed the preparation of a comprehensive survey and alignment drawing for the Lekki-Epe corridor.
The Commissioner noted that notices have been issued to illegal occupants along the corridor.
As part of the resolutions, MDAs were mandated to submit sign-offs on the Right of Way by January 23, 2026.
The Lands Bureau was tasked with outlining compensation requirements, while Drainage Services must submit alignment reports by January 26.
Ogunleye reaffirmed the state’s commitment to fast-tracking the project to boost economic growth and living standards.
