Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has named Temitope
George as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Electricity
Regulatory Commission, a move aimed at reinforcing regulatory governance and
advancing reforms within the state’s power sector.
The appointment was announced in a circular released on
Tuesday by the Head of Service, Bode Agoro, who stated that George’s nomination
is subject to confirmation by the Lagos State House of Assembly.
The memo indicated that the governor has approved her
appointment, which will formally take effect once it receives legislative
clearance.
The decision represents a significant milestone in Lagos
State’s broader drive to strengthen institutional frameworks in the electricity
industry, following recent market and regulatory reforms.
George currently serves as Lead Partner for Energy,
Infrastructure and Policy at Adegbola-George & Co and brings more than 20
years of experience spanning legal practice, regulation and public governance.
Her career includes advisory roles for governments,
multinational corporations and development agencies, particularly in the areas
of energy, infrastructure, construction and public–private partnerships.
She has been involved in the structuring of major
infrastructure projects, regulatory negotiations, complex commercial
transactions and compliance with both local and international governance
standards.
Stakeholders in the sector believe her expertise will be
instrumental in shaping the future of electricity regulation in Lagos.
The Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission is
expected to play a pivotal role in improving efficiency, safeguarding consumer
interests and boosting investor confidence, as the state pursues greater
control over its power sector and enhanced electricity service delivery.
