Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has extended an open invitation to residents and visitors to be part of the E1 Lagos Grand Prix, Africa’s first all-electric powerboat championship, scheduled to hold in Lagos from October 3 to 5.

In a statement on his social media handle on Monday, Sanwo-Olu described the event as a historic moment for Lagos and the continent, noting that it reflects the city’s drive for innovation, sustainability, and global recognition.

“The E1 Lagos Grand Prix is a demonstration of innovation and progress, showing how sport can inspire sustainable solutions for the future.

“It is also a celebration of the creativity and resilience that define our people,” the governor said in a statement.

He added that the championship will provide an opportunity to showcase Lagos as a welcoming and dynamic city, determined to embrace the future with confidence.

Sanwo-Olu urged the public to secure tickets via www.e1lagos.com, stressing that the event will place both Lagos and Africa prominently on the global stage.

It was reported that the promoters of the initiative stated that the E1 Grand Prix, the world’s first electric powerboat championship, will bring the planet’s fastest electric boats to Lagos waters.

The event places the city alongside international host destinations such as Monaco, Venice, and Jeddah, while also giving Lagos the chance to carve its own identity as Africa’s aquatic capital.
