On 7 May 2026, our associates Opeyemi Adeshina and Chinenye Okoro in the Energy, Projects & Infrastructure team at the firm attended the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission (LASERC) Maiden Stakeholders’ Engagement Forum at the Cordis Hotel, Lagos.

The event marked the first major public outing of LASERC’s new operational leadership and a significant milestone in the development of the Lagos intrastate electricity market.

Lagos currently receives between 800MW and 930MW against an estimated demand of 12,000MW. LASERC’s reform agenda is aimed at closing that gap, not by waiting on the national grid, but by enabling expanded private sector participation and independent power infrastructure within the state.

At the forum, the Commission outlined ambitious targets for grid availability, smart metering, ATC&C loss reduction, and cost-reflective tariffs. LASERC also issued 14 licences and permits across off-grid generation, embedded generation, independent electricity distribution, metering services, and interconnected mini-grid operations. In addition, the Commission announced pilot 24/7 franchise zones, a state-wide metering initiative, draft market rules, and regulatory sandbox guidelines, all expected before the end of 2026.

Discussions at the forum also indicated that LASERC may accommodate sub-franchising arrangements where distribution companies and private investors partner to serve underserved locations within the state, subject to regulatory review and approval. The approach aligns with LASERC’s broader objective of improving electricity access across Lagos State.

For investors, developers, and operators, the Lagos electricity market is no longer a future story. The regulatory architecture is being assembled in real time, and the legal and commercial opportunities are significant, particularly as market participants begin to navigate the evolving relationship between federal and state electricity regulation.

We congratulate LASERC on a landmark maiden engagement and look forward to continuing to support our clients as this market takes shape.

In our recent newsletter titled “A Review of Some Notable Arbitration Decisions by the Nigerian Courts in 2025,” Festus Onyia, FCIArb, UK, Titilola Olatunde-Fasogbon, FCIArb, UK, Michael Ugah, FCIArb, UK, and Oluseun Olayiwola, of our Dispute Resolution team, examine a number of significant arbitration decisions delivered by Nigerian courts in 2025.

The newsletter highlights the increasingly consistent pro-arbitration posture of the Nigerian courts across a range of issues, including questions relating to the enforceability of awards arising from contracts alleged to be illegal after the award debtor has taken benefit under the contract and the delineation of award enforcement jurisdiction between the Federal and State High Courts over arbitral awards arising from purely contractual disputes where the object of the contract touches on any of the matters in respect of which the Federal High Court has exclusive jurisdiction.

It also examines whether an award arising from a contract entered by a law firm trading under an unincorporated business is void on the ground that a business name cannot validly enter into a contract and whether a party to an agreement that is registerable under the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) Act can avoid its contractual obligations under the agreement on the grounds that the agreement was not registered and, or the agreement is not- registerable because it provides for settlement of disputes arising under or in connection with the agreement in a foreign jurisdiction.

A recurring theme across the decisions is the attempt by award debtors to resist the enforcement of arbitral awards on unmeritorious grounds, often after participating in the arbitration and benefiting from the underlying contracts.

Nigeria’s Industrial Policy 2025 is a $1 Trillion ambition, anchored on the manufacturing, metals, solid minerals, oil and gas, and construction sectors. Yet, for the manufacturer on the ground, the transition from ‘Paper to Productivity’ remains paved with systemic legal and regulatory hurdles.

In view of the foregoing, the Government Relations & Public Policy (GRPP) Practice Group of Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie is pleased to invite you to its inaugural Policy Breakfast Session: “Translating the Nigeria Industrial Policy 2025 into Productivity: Navigating the Legal & Regulatory Bottlenecks”.

Join us on Thursday, 21 May 2026, for an exclusive, solutions-oriented dialogue with industry leaders, government officials, and policy practitioners as we move beyond the blueprint to unlock measurable industrial output.
