Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly have called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to fast-track the award of contracts for the Light-Up Lagos project, particularly for streetlights on roads and highways, to enhance security.

The resolution was passed on Monday during the plenary session following a matter of urgent public importance raised by Hon Lukmoh Olumoh, the member representing Ajeromi-Ifelodun 01.
Olumoh noted that despite previous resolutions on streetlight installation, Lagosians are yet to benefit from the initiative, leaving many areas in darkness and vulnerable to security threats.

He emphasised that funds were allocated for the project in the 2025 budget and urged the state government to take immediate action to implement it.

“The government should ensure that all streetlights are up and running as budgeted. We can also explore alternative energy sources, such as solar power, as projected by the President,” Olumoh stated.
Supporting the motion, Hon Gbolahon Yishawu, the member representing Eti-Osa 02, echoed concerns from his constituents about poorly lit roads, stressing the urgency of awarding contracts for the project.

Similarly, Hon. Desmond Elliot, the member representing Surulere 01, highlighted the security benefits of functional streetlights in his constituency and suggested that local governments should complement state efforts by deploying solar-powered streetlights in their areas.

Hon Bonu Solomon, the member representing Badagry 01, raised concerns about vandalism of streetlight infrastructure and recommended deploying CCTV cameras to safeguard installations.

Hon. Stephen Ogundipe, the member representing Oshodi/Isolo 01, reinforced the importance of sustaining the Light-Up Lagos initiative, stating that functioning streetlights would help curb insecurity, open defecation, and other social vices.

Hon. Femi Saheed, member representing Kosofe 02, commended the government’s allocation of N24 billion for the project but urged a shift in public attitude toward maintaining infrastructure.

In his remarks, Hon Gbolahon Ogunleye, the member representing Ikorodu 01, called for equitable distribution of the project across all parts of the state, including remote areas such as Epe, Badagry, and Ikorodu, ensuring that schools and healthcare centres also benefit.

Meanwhile, Hon Abiodun Tobun, the member representing Epe 01, raised concerns over using previously allocated funds for the project.

Speaker of the House, Rt Hon Mojisola Meranda, stressed the need for local governments to align their road contracts with streetlight installations.
