The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has praised Ecobank’s Design & Build Exhibition, describing the initiative as in line with the state’s vision of creating a modern, liveable, and sustainable Lagos.
Speaking at the exhibition, the governor represented by the CEO of the Lagos State Film & Video Censors Board, Mrs. Bukola Agbaminoja applauded Ecobank for hosting the event. He urged financiers to see infrastructure and housing as tangible, long-term investments that deliver social and economic value.
Governor Sanwo-Olu also challenged architects, builders, and engineers to innovate in ways that minimise environmental impact, embrace energy efficiency, and ensure inclusivity for women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. “The Design & Build platform goes beyond visual displays, providing insights into environmentally friendly and resilient solutions for urban growth. Our future hinges on what we build today, how we build it, and for whom we build it,” he said.
The President of the Nigerian Institute of Architects, Mobolaji Adeniyi, also lauded Ecobank’s contribution to the sector, highlighting the institute’s collaboration with private sector players to deliver quality designs and sustainable projects.
