The Power of Inconsistency

May 30, 2025

Since taking office in 2019, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing the tech sector as part of his comprehensive development agenda for Lagos State.

Under his leadership, the state has witnessed significant strides in various tech-related initiatives, signalling a dedication to leveraging technology for growth and progress.

As Governor Sanwo-Olu embarks on his second term in office, there are opportunities to further build on the existing momentum and drive even greater innovation and transformation in the tech sector.

Here’s a look at the administration’s achievements to date and recommendations for enhancing its tech agenda.

Lagos State Smart City Initiative: Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration has set in motion plans to transform Lagos into a hub for technological innovation through the Smart City Initiative.

This ambitious plan involves leveraging technology to enhance infrastructure, transportation systems, and public services, to create a dynamic and sustainable Smart City model.

As the administration moves forward, it should focus on fostering public-private partnerships to attract investment in cutting-edge technologies and sustainable urban development solutions, laying the groundwork for a truly smart and resilient city.

Support for Tech Hubs and Innovation Centres: The government has actively supported the development of tech hubs and innovation centres across the state, providing vital support for startups and tech entrepreneurs.

To build on this, the administration can expand its efforts by facilitating access to funding, mentorship, and resources for budding tech innovators.

Moreover, fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and government can further catalyse innovation and entrepreneurship, positioning Lagos as a thriving tech ecosystem.

Digital Infrastructure and Internet Connectivity: The administration’s focus on improving internet connectivity and digital infrastructure is crucial for driving technology-driven innovation and economic growth.

As Lagos continues to expand, the government should prioritize the establishment of reliable, high-speed internet access throughout the state, particularly in underserved communities, to ensure broader digital inclusion and equal access to opportunities.

E-Governance Initiatives: Digitizing government services and processes is key to enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in governance.

As Governor Sanwo-Olu enters his second term, the administration should streamline e-governance initiatives, ensuring the seamless integration of digital platforms for citizen-centric services and data-driven decision-making.

Furthermore, the implementation of blockchain technology and data analytics can enhance the security and efficiency of government operations, contributing to improved governance outcomes.

Technology Education and Digital Skills Training:

The administration has made strides in technology education and digital skills training programs to empower the youth to participate in the digital economy.

Moving forward, there is an opportunity to further expand these initiatives and align them with industry needs, ensuring that young talents are equipped with relevant and future-ready skills. Fostering partnerships with tech firms and educational institutions can help create a robust talent pipeline and bridge the skills gap in the tech sector.

Looking ahead to his second term, Governor Sanwo-Olu has the opportunity to continue shaping the future of Lagos State as a leading tech-driven economy.

By building on the achievements to date and embracing the recommendations outlined, the administration can further solidify Lagos’ position as a strategic player in the global technology ecosystem and create a thriving environment for innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive digital growth.

As Governor Sanwo-Olu begins his second term as Governor of Lagos State, it is imperative to emphasize enhanced collaboration with the private sector in driving technology and innovation.

Building strategic partnerships with tech companies and investors can accelerate the implementation of tech-driven projects and attract foreign direct investment in the sector.

Additionally, the establishment of a dedicated government tech fund can provide financial support for tech startups, research and development, and the implementation of cutting-edge solutions.

Furthermore, Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration has made significant progress in leveraging Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance land management within Lagos State.

The implementation of GIS technology has played a pivotal role in improving land administration, property documentation, and urban planning.

This has resulted in increased transparency, efficiency, and accuracy in land matters, benefiting both the government and the citizens of Lagos State.

Through the integration of GIS, the government has been able to digitally map and visualize land parcels, leading to better land-use planning and management.

This has contributed to the prevention of land disputes, improved infrastructure development, and sustainable urban growth. Moreover, the use of GIS has facilitated property tax assessments and land valuation, thereby enhancing revenue generation for the state.

As technology continues to advance, there are opportunities for the government to further expand the application of GIS in land matters. For instance, incorporating advanced spatial analysis and remote sensing technologies can provide insights into environmental management, disaster risk reduction, and natural resource planning.

Additionally, the integration of GIS with e-governance initiatives can streamline land-related services, making them more accessible and user-friendly for the citizens of Lagos State.

As Governor Sanwo-Olu’s second term unfolds, it is critical to sustain and amplify the momentum of GIS integration in land management.

This can be achieved through continued investment in geospatial infrastructure, capacity building for government personnel, and the establishment of standardized data-sharing protocols.

By harnessing the power of GIS, the administration can further strengthen its efforts in ensuring sustainable and well-managed land resources, laying a solid foundation for the continued growth and development of Lagos State.

Furthermore, the government should prioritize the creation of a conducive regulatory environment to stimulate technological innovation.

Clear and supportive policies, streamlined licensing processes, and incentives for tech companies can attract more tech firms and foster a conducive environment for growth and development.

This will also involve the review and modernization of existing regulations to keep pace with technological advancements and emerging trends, ensuring that entrepreneurs and innovators can operate in a flexible and responsive business environment.

An important aspect of the tech agenda for Governor Sanwo-Olu’s second term involves a focus on sustainability and resilience.

Embracing green technology, renewable energy solutions, and initiatives to mitigate the impact of climate change can position Lagos as a sustainable and forward-thinking tech hub.

This can include incentives for eco-friendly tech solutions, support for research and development in clean energy, and the integration of smart environmental monitoring systems.

Such initiatives can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious tech ecosystem while addressing critical challenges faced by the rapidly growing urban centre.

In conclusion, Governor Sanwo-Olu has the opportunity to further cement Lagos State’s position as a tech-driven economic powerhouse and a beacon of innovation on the global stage.

By continuing to prioritize investment in tech infrastructure, support for startups and innovators, and the creation of a conducive business environment, the administration can propel Lagos to new heights of tech-driven growth and development in his second term.

With strategic partnerships, regulatory reform, and a focus on sustainability, the Governor can truly shape the future of Lagos State as a leading tech and innovation hub, driving economic prosperity and improving the quality of life for all residents.
