The Alliance for Yoruba Democratic Movements, (AYDM), a coalition of 130 pan- Yoruba groups, has commended the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo Olu, for his decision to officially grant electricity distribution licenses to two new Distribution Companies, describing the as a unique initiative.
AYDM also commended the state deputy governor, Dr. Kadir Obafemi Hamzat, over the move, further describing it as the most important public interest decision in Lagos since 1999.
It would be recalled that the Lagos State Government had registered Excel Distribution Company and the IE Energy Lagos Limited, which will now take over Eko Electricity Distribution PLC and Ikeja Electric PLC.

By Unlimiting Power of God, Every Dream materialized.
The coalition gave this commendation in a statement jointly signed by its Secretary-General, Comrade Popoola Ajayi and the Mobilisation Director, Chief Kunle Oshodi respectively after its Executive Council meeting, saying that the decision of the Lagos State Government on the new licenses represented what it termed a “radical departure from gross corporate irresponsibility to a new frontier in the search for energy stability in Lagos State with far reaching implication on the South West and Nigeria.”
AYDM said Governor Sanwo-Olu and his team had through the move written their names in history, just as it quickly noted that it was not enough to register new DISCOs and, therefore, the need for both the Federal and state governments to probe the owners of DISCOs for their crime against the people.
This was just as the movement promised that it would in collaboration with other civil society organisations push for sanctions on the managers of the affected DISCOs by the international community by documenting their crimes, saying that many people had died due to their activities.
According to the coalition, people had died in Lagos either in hospitals due to abrupt disconnection by the said DISCOs or through power surges that had led “to the burning of many buildings where people lost their lives and property or through target attacks on property of energy users,” declaring that the DISCOs were worse than the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), their predecessors.
“Lagos and the people of the South West are praying for the Government of Lagos State for this bold step. The people have been subjected to the most horrendous crimes inflicted on innocent energy users by existing DISCOs who lack human conscience and driven only by primitive and ungodly accumulation of wealth,” the AYDM said.
AYDM, however, urged the new DISCOs not to repeat the gross misconduct of their predecessors, saying that it was ready to work with them to reclaim lost public confidence, just as it expressed the belief that the new DISCOs would save business and industries from the fringe of collapse.
Besides, it also urged the Lagos State Government to explore cleaner energy possible from the tonnes of waste generated daily in the state.
“The decision to register new DISCOs will save business and industries from the fringe of collapse. When there is no efficient electricity, businesses, health and industrial growth will suffer while social and night economy will crumble.
“This has been the situation in Lagos. Millions of electricity users are sidelined by arrogant bullies who parade themselves as business operators but who lack any iota of human compassion but motivated by cruel zeal for profit,” the movement said.
