Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu calls on electricity sector stakeholders to take decisive steps to end persistent blackouts in the state. Speaking at a high-level strategic town hall meeting at the State House, Marina, he says dependable power supply is needed to support a stronger and more competitive economy.

Both outlets report that Sanwo-Olu frames the ongoing outages as a result of broader power sector failures and issues that have been repeatedly raised but not resolved. He urges stakeholders to abandon excuses and focus on practical actions that would help build a resilient electricity system, with the goal of moving toward 24/7 power supply in Lagos. The coverage is largely aligned on the governor’s message and the forum where he delivers it, with the emphasis on accountability and urgency rather than specific technical interventions.
