Lagos State is set to host a historic E1 Racing Championship. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State Governor revealed this on Sunday.
“This weekend, we were in Monaco for the E1 Racing Championship. It was a good reminder of how innovation, determination, and bold ideas can come together to create something truly groundbreaking,” Sanwo-Olu wrote in a post he shared on his official X account.
“I am proud to share that Lagos will become the first African city to host the E1 Championship on October 4th and 5th, 2025.”
Sanwo-Olu said that would be a major milestone for the sport and for what it says about Lagos State as a city.
According to the governor, it shows that Lagos is ready to be part of the global conversation on clean energy, sustainability and new approaches to marine transportation.
Sanwo-Olu said this is an opportunity to show the world what makes Lagos special, the culture, the energy, and the people.
“It is a chance to welcome visitors, share our stories, and highlight the incredible potential of our city,” he stated.
“I am grateful to Afreximbank for their support, not just as a partner but as a believer in what Lagos can achieve.
“Their investment in Team Drogba and their commitment to this vision mean a great deal.”
Sanwo-Olu promised that Lagos State would be bringing a world-class sporting event to its shores, saying his administration would also be opening a new chapter for Lagos.
“I cannot wait for the world to see what we have to offer,” the Lagos State Governor concluded.
