Sanwolu Babajide proud to share that Lagos will become the first African city

This weekend, Governor Babajide Sanwolu and others attended the E1 Racing Championship in Monaco.

It served as a powerful reminder of how innovation, determination, and visionary ideas can converge to create something truly remarkable. Governor Sanwolu expressed his pride in announcing that Lagos will be the first African city to host the E1 Championship on October 4th and 5th, 2025. This achievement is a significant milestone for both the sport and the message it conveys about our city, showcasing Lagos's readiness to engage in the global dialogue around clean energy, sustainability, and innovative marine transportation solutions. This event presents an excellent opportunity to showcase what makes Lagos unique: our vibrant culture, dynamic energy, and resilient people. It's a chance to welcome visitors, share our narratives, and highlight the immense potential of our city. He also expressed his gratitude to Afreximbank for their support, not only as a partner but as a believer in Lagos's future. Their investment in Team Drogba and commitment to our vision are invaluable. Hosting a world-class sporting event on our shores marks the beginning of a new chapter for Lagos, and I am eager for the world to discover what we have to offer.
