London Mayor Sadiq Khan in Nigeria to Build Economic and Cultural Ties
London Mayor Sadiq Khan is in Lagos, Nigeria, meeting with local creatives and tech entrepreneurs as part of a historic trade mission across Africa. The visit aims to spotlight the growing cultural and economic connections between the United Kingdom and Nigeria, particularly in the fast-evolving tech and creative industries.
The event brought together artists, designers, tech founders, and cultural leaders working at the crossroads of innovation and storytelling. Experts say the exchange between the two countries is rich in creativity and knowledge-sharing.
As Nigeria’s tech ecosystem, often called “Silicon Lagoon,” gains international attention, the country’s youthful population and booming fintech scene are driving innovation.
