Fashola to host forum on energy conservation

LAGOS State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, is set to host a Google hangout with residents on Friday to discuss energy conservation.

   Slated for 6:00p.m at the Mega Plaza, Victoria Island, the event anticipates the Energy Conservation Month with its energy conservation campaign, themed “Conserve Energy, Save Money (CESM),” which was developed by the state Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in conjunction with the Lagos State Electricity Board.

   In a statement, the electricity board said the campaign would use behaviour change communication materials that carry step-by-step, do-it-yourself instructions on energy efficiency and conservation improvements to save Lagosians money and make the city more energy efficient. 

   The awareness session will hold at the E-Centre on October 26, and during the conservation campaign, residents of Lagos would be taught how to calculate their energy consumption on the spot, thereby aiding planning and boosting their economy.
