We are immensely proud to partner with the E1 World Championship to bring this groundbreaking event to our shores."




"This collaboration not only presents a unique opportunity to showcase the dynamism of Lagos to a global audience but also serves as a powerful catalyst for promoting sustainable practices and inspiring our vibrant youths to embrace innovation and environmental stewardship", Sanwo-Olu said.




Rodi Basso, CEO of E1, highlighted Lagos's pivotal role in the championship's expansion during a recent interview with Forbes.com.




His words: "The decision to bring the E1 series to Africa, and specifically to Lagos, marks a significant milestone for the championship. Lagos is a city brimming with potential, a place where innovation thrives and where there is a palpable drive for progress. We recognise the immense opportunity here to not only stage an exciting race but also ignite conversations around sustainable technology and inspire the next generation of environmentally conscious leaders."


The Lagos State Government is working in close collaboration with the E1 organisation to ensure the seamless execution of this historic event.




Comprehensive preparations are underway, encompassing logistics, robust community engagement initiatives, and the forging of strategic partnerships to maximize the event's impact and legacy.




Lagos stands poised to welcome the world and demonstrate its leadership in Africa's transformative era.
