During a media briefing, the Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Biodun Ogunleye, emphasised that the summit is a crucial step toward achieving the state’s vision of sustainable energy access for all Lagosians.

He said: “This summit is not just about discussions; it is about action. We are bringing together industry stakeholders, policymakers, investors, and innovators to drive real solutions for Lagos’ energy challenges.”

He highlighted the summit’s key objectives, which include promoting sustainable energy solutions, advancing renewable energy adoption, and facilitating high-level stakeholder engagement.
