LAGOS, Nigeria (FN) — Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu will appear on Journalists’ Hangout on TVC News Monday 22 December,2025. at 5:00 p.m. to present his vision for Lagos in 2026, while reflecting on the state’s achievements in 2025.
As the year draws to a close, Sanwo-Olu said he intends to take stock of Lagos’ progress, highlight key developments, and share insights on the work that remains. The governor emphasized the importance of reflection and planning as the state prepares for another year of transformation.
In a post on his official X handle, Sanwo-Olu invited viewers to tune in for the conversation. “As the year draws to a close, it is important to take stock of how far we have come, reflect, and share insights on the work still ahead. I look forward to the conversation and hope you will join me,” he wrote.
According to the governor, the discussion will cover major areas of development across Lagos, including infrastructure, transportation, housing, and technology. He is also expected to address challenges such as urban congestion, waste management, and security.
Sanwo-Olu’s administration has prioritized projects like the Lagos Blue Line rail, expansion of road networks, and digital innovation hubs. Analysts say his 2026 vision will likely build on these initiatives while introducing new strategies for sustainable growth.
Public expectations are high, with residents eager to hear how the government plans to tackle persistent issues. “We want to see more action on traffic gridlock and affordable housing,” said Lagos commuter Tunde Adebayo. “The vision must be practical, not just promises.”
Civil society groups have also urged the governor to focus on inclusivity. “Lagos is growing rapidly, but development must benefit all communities, not just the elite,” noted activist Funke Adeyemi.
Political observers believe Sanwo-Olu’s appearance on national television signals an effort to strengthen public trust and demonstrate accountability. “By outlining his 2026 vision, he is setting the tone for governance in the new year,” said political analyst Chinedu Okafor.
The program is expected to feature questions from journalists on both successes and shortcomings of the administration. Sanwo-Olu has acknowledged that while progress has been made, challenges remain in delivering services to a city of over 20 million people.
For Lagosians, the governor’s remarks will serve as both a reflection on the past year and a roadmap for the future. The conversation is anticipated to shape public discourse as Nigeria’s commercial capital prepares for another year of growth and reform.
