“It was an honor to witness history at the very first E1 Championship in Lagos, a milestone not only for Lagos but for Nigeria and Africa at large. As a daughter of Lagos, born and raised in its vibrant heart, I had the privilege of meeting visionary leaders. Moments like these remind us that representation, innovation, and unity can illuminate the path toward a brighter future.”
