“The race will be on — and the world will see Lagos,” declared Sam Egube, Chair of the Local Organising Committee for the E1 Lagos Grand Prix, as the city counts down to Africa’s first-ever E1 electric powerboat race.
With just days to go before the October 4–5, 2025 showdown on the Lagos Lagoon, the city isn’t merely preparing to host an event — it’s preparing to make history. The E1 Lagos GP will position Nigeria’s commercial capital as a global hub of culture, technology, and economic ambition, with an expected $100 million-plus boost to the local economy and billions of online impressions set to showcase the city’s vibrancy to the world.

The race also brings together world-class sponsors, groundbreaking electric RaceBird powerboats, and an international audience eager to witness the future of sustainable watersports. For Lagos, it’s more than competition — it’s a statement of confidence and capability.
“Lagos is not just hosting; Lagos is the stage,” Egube said with conviction, capturing the city’s bold bid to define Africa’s place in the future of green sports, tourism, and innovation.
On October 4–5, the eyes of the world will turn to the waters of Lagos — and Lagos intends to shine.
