Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has given his word that Lagos will be fully prepared when African football's biggest night comes to the city on 7 December. Speaking ahead of the CAF 2026 Awards, the governor pointed to security, logistics, branding, and venue access as the key areas his administration is focused on getting right.
It is a significant moment for the city. Hosting the CAF Awards puts Lagos in the spotlight before a continent-wide audience, and Sanwo-Olu clearly wants the experience to reflect the best of what the state can offer.
With just months to go, all eyes will be on Lagos to deliver a ceremony worthy of African football's finest.
