    He said the government is saving 978,906 Kilowatts per hour(kwh)  annaully, by switching to energy saving bulbs in its secretariat, adding that plans are underway to conserve energy to its barest minimum level.

    He said the Energy Conservation Month initiative was launched lin 2013  as a Behavioural Change Campaign to enable residents imbibe the habits of conserving energy at homes and offices.

    He said the campaign dubbed  ‘Conserve Energy, Save Money’ (CESM), ran throughout the 31 days in the month to ensure efficient usage of energy in the state.

    He said: “We are persuaded that when people understand the benefits of energy conservation to their own personal finances, it will make adoption of the practice easier.”

    He said this year’s edition will witness the  commissioning of the Energy Academy, the opening of the  8.8megawatts(Mw) Independent Power Plant in Lagos Mainland by Governor Babatunde Fashola, the launch of Improved Lagos Energy Calculator App among others.
