THE EKO170: A NATIONAL TRIUMPH, FORGED IN PARTNERSHIP

This past weekend, Lagos witnessed more than a cycling race. The inaugural Lagos Gran Fondo, EKO 170, stood as a powerful testament to what can be achieved when visionary governance, engaged communities, dedicated athletes and forward-thinking partners unite.

The 170km event was not only a sporting success, but a masterclass in collaborative nation-building, providing a replicable blueprint for excellence in Nigeria.

At the core of this achievement was the visionary backing of the Lagos State Government. From the outset, the State’s endorsement provided a crucial framework of legitimacy, security and inter-agency coordination. The seamless involvement of government agencies transformed a complex logistical challenge into a showcase of efficiency, signaling clearly that Lagos is a capable and serious partner for grand ambitions.

The event’s heartbeat came from two vibrant sources: the local communities along the route, whose cheers and volunteer spirit turned the course into a 170km celebration, and the cyclists and cycling clubs from across Nigeria, whose passion, determination and talent filled the road with purpose. Together, they proved the event was a true community and national asset, powered by the people.

Special recognition is due to the professional Moto Marshalls on their agile BMW 1200 GS motorcycles, whose constant vigilance and rapid mobility along the entire route were indispensable to participant safety and race integrity.

This grand vision was made operational by a pioneering coalition of sponsors. The foundational support of Mikano International, Motors Division, and Changan as Official Infrastructure Partner provided the backbone of the event. They were joined by key enablers: Quest Oil Group, which provided a planning base; Eko Atlantic, host of the iconic start and finish; Elektron and AVIS, supporting operational needs; Medbury Wellness and Pocari Sweat, safeguarding athlete health and hydration; and Watch Galleries, timing elite performance.

This model of integrated partnership, where diverse private-sector strengths converge on a single public goal, sets a new standard for corporate citizenship and collective impact.

The EKO 170 has set a new bar. It has demonstrated that with clear vision, enabling governance, enthusiastic community and athlete participation, professional safety oversight, and a unified network of committed partners, Nigeria can not only host world-class events but create lasting legacies.

The finish line in Lagos is just the starting line for Nigeria.

2025 the year of broken promises by the APC lead Federal Govt.We witnessed increased property and insecurity, shrinking of political space/participation, high inflation etc all under the renewed hope agenda of PBAT. Yet the sycophants are singing on your mandate we stand.Shame!!

[yakubu madeh @9jamade]

@dolawanle @Ifeallenonyema @flyairpeace So much talk about non-profitability in the Nigerian aviation space as if @flyairpeace is the only airline in the business.A simple comparison with European Airlines like @easyJet and @Ryanair disproves the assertion as tickets are available below €50. Exploitation no good oh!

2025 Christmas & New Year holiday season with so many twist for me.😖😩
Had to grapple from one challenge to the next, but in all this, I’m still grateful to Almighty God and hope to start the new year 2026 on a positive note. 🗣️🙏🏾😁

[yakubu madeh @9jamade]

@ARISEtv What happened to air fare tickets within european cities where airlines like @easyJet and @Ryanair offer far lower rates; below $50 for similar trips? @AirPeace25796 cannot reasonably explain it’s opportunistic and exploitative air fares within Nigeria.

This whole issue on Dangote is shocking and creating bad waves for Nigeria globally. - Akinwunmi Adesina

Monopoly often exists where there are high barriers to entry or high capital costs.

How many individuals or companies can do railways? How many can do refineries of the scale of Dangote Refineries?

In a nation that has been importing refined petroleum products for several decades, the abnormal simply became very normal.

No smart investor would make a $19.5 billion investment and want it to be undermined by importers.

To manufacture is extremely expensive and risky. This is even more so in Nigeria, given the very challenging business and economic environment, fraught with policy uncertainties and policy reversals, and where the self-defeating default mode of “simply import it” is always so easily rationalized and chorused to solve any problem.

Competition is good for everyone. But is Dangote refineries anti-competitive? What is the evidence?

Has Dangote refineries prevented any other company from setting up refineries? Why have others not done so? How come they have not done so for several decades? Was it Dangote that held them back?

But Dangote refineries surely cannot be asked to ‘compete’ with importers of petroleum products.

That is not competition. Let the importers set up local refineries and compete by refining in Nigeria. That is fair and justified competition.

We cannot and must not undermine, disparage or kill local industries, talk less of one that is of this scale — a jewel of industrialisation in Nigeria.

It is more than simply delivering the cheapest product to the market. It is about domestic supply security, driving (and yes, protecting) globally competitive industries, maximizing forward and backward linkages in the local economy, job creation, reducing forex expenses and shoring up the Naira.

We must not be myopic.

This whole disparaging of Dangote is uncalled for. It is self-defeating. And it is very bad for Nigeria. Who will want to come and invest in a country that disparages and undermines its own largest investor?

Investing is tough. Pettiness is easy.

It sadly sends a signal that the price for sacrificing for Nigeria is to get sacrificed.
