Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola on Sunday said that he could provide uninterrupted power to Lagos within 6-8 months.
He said this during the commissioning of the 8.5 MW Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in Lagos.
He said that the Lekki IPP was proof that stable power in Nigeria wasn't as arduous a task as people made it look.
He challenged electricity distribution companies by saying: “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State.
“So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.
