The 7th edition of the Art of Technology Lagos (AOT 7.0) gathered top government officials, policymakers, innovators, and private-sector leaders to discuss strategies for building a sustainable and future-ready Lagos. Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, Minister of Solid Minerals Dele Alake, and Minister of Communications & Digital Economy Bosun Tijani all emphasized the need for technology-driven solutions capable of transforming the state’s infrastructure, governance, and environmental resilience.
Speaking at the event, Hamzat highlighted Lagos’ commitment to advancing smart city initiatives, climate adaptation, and tech-enabled public services.

They pointed out that building a sustainable Lagos requires practical policies that support startups, unlock green investment opportunities, and empower young innovators. With Lagos serving as a major economic engine for Nigeria, speakers at AOT 7.0 urged stakeholders to adopt long-term thinking and embrace technology as the foundation for the state’s future growth.
