Ehingbeti: Expediting the transformation of Lagos On By Babajide Komolafe Since 2000, Nigeria’s commercial capital and Africa’s sixth largest economy, Lagos State, has been going through landmark policy and infrastructural transformation to a modern city. Driving this transformation is the Lagos Economic Summit, a private sector-led participatory forum, also known as ‘Ehingbeti’. Notwithstanding the absence of Ehingbeti between 2015 and 2019, the significance of the Lagos Economic Summit is evident across the State. Even though the private sector-led conversation continues with the 2021edition holding this week, implementation of some of the consensus reached at pre-2015 summits, also demonstrated that Ehingbeti is an unending dialogue in the quest for socio-economic and infrastructural development in Lagos State.
