Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has pledged his administration’s support for businesses that promote digital innovation and recognise the pivotal role Lagos State plays in driving creativity and technological advancement in Nigeria.

Governor Sanwo-Olu made this promise recently when he hosted an entourage of the Bodex Social Media Hangout (BSMH) in his office as part of activities for their upcoming sixth edition.

The sixth edition of the BSMH themed ‘Social Media and A.I Influence: Transforming Yourself, Services, and the Society,’ will continue the platform’s mission to promote responsible media use, foster digital literacy, and empower social media users across Nigeria.

Sanwo-Olu said: “Lagos State has always been the heartbeat of innovation and creativity, and as a governor who celebrates homegrown talent making global impact, I will continue to support businesses that amplify voices, shape narratives, and promote responsible digital engagement.”

During the visit, the BSMH entourage expressed heartfelt appreciation to the governor for his administration’s continuous support of media innovation and youth focused initiatives in Lagos State.

The convener of BSMH, Bodex Hungbo, noted that the governor’s digital forward policies and open engagement with citizens have set Lagos apart as a model for digital governance and media inclusion in Africa.

The highlight of the visit was the formal presentation of an official invitation to Sanwo-Olu to attend BSMH 6.0 as a keynote speaker during the grand finale and the Grand Patron Award Ceremony.

In addition, Sanwo-Olu will be presented with the award for “Most Digital Media Friendly Governor of the Year” during the grand finale in recognition of his visionary leadership and commitment to leveraging technology for public engagement and transparency in governance.

In acknowledgment of his unwavering contributions to digital innovation, inclusivity, and youth empowerment, Governor Sanwo-Olu was officially conferred as the Grand Patron of the Bodex Social Media Hangout Initiative.

He warmly accepted the honour, commended the BSMH team for their efforts in bridging the gap between social media and societal progress, and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promote responsible media use and digital growth across Lagos State.
