After enduring years of total blackout, hope is finally on the horizon for residents of Badagry West as the Lagos State Government has commenced efforts to restore electricity to the area.
The encouraging news was shared by Hon. Solomon Bonu Sanu, who represents Badagry Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly. In a Facebook update, the lawmaker announced that the long-awaited restoration of power has officially begun, thanks to the approval of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
"To the esteemed residents of Badagry West, I am pleased to provide an update regarding the electricity crisis that has resulted in a blackout. Restoration efforts have commenced, as approved by Mr. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu," Hon. Bonu posted.
He further revealed that the Lagos State Ministry of Energy will engage stakeholders next week to provide a comprehensive briefing on the scope and execution of the project.
This marks a significant milestone for the coastal community, which has grappled with the social and economic impact of prolonged power outages. Residents have long lamented the difficulties caused by the blackout, including struggling businesses, limited access to modern education tools, and increased reliance on costly alternatives such as generators.
Hon. Bonu called for unity and cooperation as the project moves forward: “Let us collaborate to illuminate Badagry West.”
The power restoration project is expected to improve the quality of life for thousands of residents, revive local enterprise, and strengthen trust between the government and the community. More details on the scope of work, timelines, and implementation partners are expected to emerge following the upcoming stakeholder engagement.
For the people of Badagry West, the light at the end of the tunnel may finally be more than just a metaphor.
