HAMZAT & THE NEXT LAGOS
An independent, ideas-driven platform exploring leadership, public policy and the possibilities for the future of Lagos.
What could Lagos become?
Over 180 days, we examine the journey, experience and leadership thinking of Dr. Obafemi Hamzat while going much further into the everyday realities of Lagosians and the transformational ideas that could shape Lagos 2035.
From transportation and housing to jobs, food affordability, technology, local economies, education, infrastructure and government reform, the project approaches Lagos from the people upward not simply from Alausa downward.
Our Principle
This is not about praise-singing.
Our Focus
It is about ideas, questions, solutions and possibilities.
Contributing practical thinking towards a Lagos that is:
More affordable
More productive
More prosperous
More inclusive
Better governed
To build a public conversation around the ideas, systems and leadership required to transform Lagos into one of the world’s most functional and prosperous megacities.
Because the next Lagos should not simply be bigger, It should work better for everyone.
