Babajide Sanwo-Olu nominated for the Face of Africa Leadership Awards for his significant contributions to Lagos State.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has accepted his nomination for the Face of Africa Leadership Awards , according to the awards’ convener, Femi Salako. Salako confirmed the acceptance following a courtesy visit during which the governor was formally presented with the nomination.
The award ceremony is scheduled to hold on April 2, 2026, at King’s College London, United Kingdom. “The visit marked the formal presentation and acceptance of Governor Sanwo-Olu’s nomination for the Face of Africa Leadership Awards,” Salako said, adding that the international platform recognises African leaders whose governance records demonstrate impact, innovation and people-centred development. According to the organisers, Governor Sanwo-Olu was nominated in recognition of his administration’s reforms in infrastructure, transportation, education and healthcare, as well as policies aimed at positioning Lagos as a competitive global city. The convener noted that the award selection process considers measurable outcomes, leadership style and contributions to socio-economic growth. Salako described the governor’s acceptance as a strong endorsement of the award’s mission to spotlight African leadership on a global stage. He said hosting the ceremony at King’s College London underscores the organisers’ intention to bridge African governance narratives with international audiences, investors and policy thinkers. The Face of Africa Leadership Awards brings together public officials, business leaders, academics and members of the African diaspora to celebrate leadership excellence and discuss pathways for sustainable development across the continent. Governor Sanwo-Olu, through his acceptance, joins a growing list of African leaders to be honoured at the event, which the organisers say will also feature panel discussions, networking sessions and recognitions across multiple leadership categories. The 2026 edition is expected to attract high-profile guests from Africa, Europe and beyond, further amplifying Lagos State’s visibility on the global stage.
