About Ehingbeti Economic Summit
2021
The annual Lagos State Economic Summit, popularly called
EHINGBETI started in 2000. The summit began as an annual event and because of
the importance attached to the Summit and its resolutions, it has changed from
an annual Summit to a biennial Summit in order to give some time for Government
to respond to commitments that she made. However, the summit was last held in
2014.
The Summit itself has a rich history and it is of even greater
pleasure to note that it has been hosted continuously since the beginning of
the millennium in the year 2000, and is now firmly established as a credible
forum for the stimulation of economic growth in Lagos State.
From its early life as a diagnostic Summit; its evolution into
an implementing one; the number of resolutions it has committed to and the
impressive number that it has implemented – 109 implemented out of 119
resolutions at the last count; Ehingbeti has survived from Government to
Government and provides an excellent example of consistency in government
policy.
The forthcoming Ehingbeti summit slated for February 2021 has
been tagged “For A Greater Lagos: Setting the Tone for the Next Decade. The
speakers for this year’s summit are Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Governor of Lagos
State), Dr. Obafemi Hamzat (Deputy Governor of Lagos State), Senator Ben
Murray-Bruce (Founder of Silverbird Group), and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (Former
Minister of Finance).
Because of the current situation in the country, this year’s
Summit is designed to hold virtually and has an estimated projection of over
100,000 participants. The three objectives of the Summit according to the
Special Adviser to the Governor on SDG, Sholape Hammond are as follows:
§ To create an
enabling environment to drive progressive conversation around Lagos state.
§ Showcase Lagos
to the world by leveraging on the challenge that comes with the pandemic.
§ Engage younger people to be part of the conversation.
