Lagos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cTo make Lagos a 21st-century economy, a key component of this administration\u2019s agenda is aimed at growing critical sectors in the state which is only possible with reliable access to electricity.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnergy supply is currently the single biggest infrastructure and development challenge in the state because Lagos depends entirely on Nigeria\u2019s national grid for its electricity supply as does the rest of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that the state could enjoy both environmental and economic benefits if there was adequate access and an increase in green energy supply.<\/p>\n
Also, Head, Geocycle, Lafarge Africa, Daniel Adedokun, said that in order to make Lagos a smart city, various problems needed to be addressed including waste management.<\/p>\n
Adedokun, who spoke on smart cities and promoting green energy, said that indiscriminate burning affecting the climate, and wastes leading to incessant flooding needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cLafarge Africa is collaborating with other industries to provide a zero-waste future.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we spend on energy is very huge and at the end of the day, we can substitute most of our energy need with waste from industrial, agriculture and municipal levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cCement kiln is an asset for waste management and green energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn order to get green energy from this, we need to be able to invest to convert the waste to useful resources which is called pre-processing in our industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that if the issue of waste was addressed immediately, it would subsequently not only lead to a clean city but also be beneficial in the creation of new jobs, equating to additional GDP for the government.<\/p>\n
During a panel session on Green Energy, Mr Julien Peter, Project Developer, Scatec Solar, said that the size of Nigeria\u2019s market was captivating.<\/p>\n
According to him, Nigeria is the leading economy in Africa in many sectors and the same should be the case in the development of renewable energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cNordic companies would continue to provide innovative solutions to make energy products cost effective for Nigerians, \u201c Peter said.<\/p>\n
Also, General Manager, Business Support Group, Oando Clean Energy, Mr Demola Ogunbanjo, said that Lagos State had the opportunity to move into renewable sources to meet its energy demand.<\/p>\n
According to him, the demand far exceeds supply.<\/p>\n
He said that there were policy and infrastructure issues that did not minimise the opportunities in renewable energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestment remains a requirement in this area and as many of us can engage renewable energy, the better for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere must be new businesses built on the foundation of renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we work closely with the government and take out some unnecessary cost elements, we should be able to make the projects on renewable energy viable ones,\u201d Ogunbanjo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
