Recent market and regulatory reforms have paved the way for this development, and stakeholders believe her expertise will be vital in navigating the complex electricity landscape. With her extensive experience, George is well‑positioned to lead the commission in promoting efficient and reliable electricity services in Lagos. Confirmation of her appointment by the House of Assembly will be a key step in strengthening institutional frameworks and improving the overall performance of the state’s power sector.
