THE POLICY ENGINE

THE IDEAS VAULT

FROM CONVERSATION TO CONCRETE SOLUTIONS

The Ideas Vault is the policy engine of Hamzat & The Next Lagos, a growing collection of bold, practical and measurable proposals for building a better Lagos.

Four Major Bodies of Work

01

57 LOCAL ECONOMIES

A framework for transforming Lagos’ 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs into distinctive economic engines creating jobs, enterprise, investment and prosperity closer to where people live.

02

THE 12 TRANSFORMATIONS

Twelve major proposals addressing the systems that determine everyday life in Lagos from cost of living, housing and mobility to wealth creation, the informal economy, technology, human development and government delivery.

03

ONE BIG IDEA FOR HAMZAT

26 Sunday proposals that take one major Lagos challenge at a time and ask: What could we do differently?

04

THE LAGOS 2035 BLUEPRINT

The ideas ultimately converge into a long-term citizen-centred vision for an affordable, productive, inclusive, resilient and globally competitive megacity.

The Ideas Vault asks one question repeatedly:

WHAT IF WE STOPPED MANAGING LAGOS’ PROBLEMS AND STARTED REDESIGNING THE SYSTEMS THAT CREATE THEM?
