We have been making steady progress with the Light-Up Lagos project. Across major roads and highways in the state, our teams have been installing streetlights and replacing old, unreliable fittings. You may have seen the work happening recently, both on the Mainland and the Island. Good lighting helps people...

Lols. Whoever got that contract should be behind bars. What’s lit about these lights?? A light that can’t even shine bright enough for you to see a pothole. Street lights across major highways but people still have thier headlamps on. Just a little more effort and this wouldn’t be the case but here we are. How can a streetlight be so deem?? 🤦‍♂️ These are candles 🕯️ and not a streetlight.

Your Excellency, I’ve been staring at this video for 5 minutes trying to find the 'Light-Up.' 🔎 The darkness is still giving us 'dominance' and the streetlights are looking like birthday candles from this distance. We need bright LEDs that actually scare away the shadows, sir!

If anyone in Lagos sights or catches anybody trying to steal these light fixtures or touch anything at all, pls beat that person to stupor. Post proof and I'll send you money 😁😁

For a Mega city that generated about ₦1.26 trillion – ₦1.3 trillion IGR alone yearly, aren’t you ashamed to be launching “Street lights” as a project in 2026?? Imagine governor of Texas posting about street lights in 2026

Yes Mr governor we’ve seen it even in Ajegunle and that’s how a working state should be not begging for light but unfortunately we the citizens are crying and begging for stable electricity, is it too much to ask?

There is no electricity in Nigeria. Using solar street lights to deceive yourself is an error. The purpose of installing street lights is to deceive American satellites in the sky. While inside our house, there is no electricity. Shame on you, APC demons.

I can attest to that. Thank you for job your administration is doing. I have seen some light installations around the Sangotedo Shoprite down to around the Skymall plaza/Blenco. But the vast majority of the stretch of that road is still very dark at night.

@Atobatele_1 We can’t see the work, we are constantly at mechanic workshops because of the terrible roads.

The light installation is too high on Ikorodu road so it is not as bright due to the height.

Even Iran that's in the middle of heavy bombardment is still well lit at night and the mega city is looking like one mega dark corner. Nigerian politicians deserve the most severe punishment ever meted to man.

Mr Gov, why is there no installation of streetlight between 7Up and Alausa bus stop/Magodo junction towards Otedola Bridge? There is streetlight all the way from Island and Apapa to 7Up and Alausa Bus Stop to Berger. Is it deliberate and if yes, why? @jidesanwoolu @Mr_JAGs @followlasg

Highly commendable. Please look into the quality of lighting on the third mainland bridge. It isn’t as luminous as required especially between 3:10 am and 6:37am compared to the quality of lifting in other areas of the city. #ItesiwajuEko @followlasg

Maybe We’ll all move to the roads someday since we can’t have light in our homes.

We acknowledge this, especially on major highways. Please, take this to the suburbs. Challenge the LGs / LCDAs administrators and chairmen to light up Lagos. Kudos on this ongoing project

Mr. Governor, why hasn't Lagos state made a bid to issue an exclusive PPA to egbin power station og Sahara energy and cut them off the national grid to supply power exclusively to Eko & Ikeja disco, & other lagos based eligible customers on a bilateral basis 🙄? This is solution

Great job Mr Governor. We can all make Nigeria great again sir, we are richer than so many European countries, we have the funds, we have the resources. I hope there will be adequate security to protect all these projects from vandalism. And Lagos state is rich enough to have her own power supply, please make this happen sir.
