Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State has signed the Oyo State Electricity Regulatory Commission Bill 2024 into law.
The governor signed the bill into law on Friday in Ibadan, the state capital.
While speaking at the signing ceremony, the governor said the law will allow the state develop its roadmap for sustainable electricity.
He added that it is obvious that Nigerians can access the dividends of democracy if federalism is practised as it should.
He stated: “As promised earlier in the week, we are signing the Oyo State Electricity Regulatory Commission Bill 2024 into law today. This law will enable Oyo State to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity within the state.
“Amendments of the constitution like this are what we mean when we advocate for fiscal federalism. In years to come, as we work towards energy sufficiency, our people can hold state governments accountable on the issue of electricity supply,” he concluded.
