I joined my brother, Governor Dapo Abiodun, and his family in Iperu-Remo to celebrate the 90th birthday of his mother, Chief (Mrs.) Victoria Olaitan Abiodun.
Mama Abiodun’s life is a story of grace, service, and impact. As an educationist, businesswoman, and community leader, she has touched countless lives with kindness and dedication.
At 90, she remains an inspiration and a testament to God’s faithfulness and the power of a life well lived.
I wish her continued good health, joy, and peace.
At the Progressive Governors Forum meeting in Birnin Kebbi, my colleagues and I reflected on our country’s progress and renewed our shared commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
We also reviewed the economy, security, and reforms that are already improving lives across Nigeria. Our focus is to make growth inclusive, strengthen state economies, and bring development closer to the people.

Today, I met with the European Union (EU) Member States Ambassadors in Nigeria at Lagos House, Marina.
We covered opportunities for deeper collaboration between Lagos and the EU, especially in areas that drive sustainable growth, innovation, and shared prosperity.
It was a pleasure to host Mr. Pierre Le Manh, President and CEO of the Project Management Institute (PMI), USA, alongside the Global Board of Directors at the Banquet Hall, Lagos House, Marina.
Building on the success of the 2024 MoU between Lagos State and PMI, our partnership continues to strengthen project management capacity across public institutions. Our discussions focused on collaboration, innovation, and the vital role of project management in building a better Lagos.
World Food Day
Why are we celebrating World Food Day? It is a reminder that food is more than a meal; it is connection, comfort, and culture on a plate. From recipes passed down through generations to the creative dishes we make our own, food unites us in joy and nourishes both body and soul.
Let us join hands together to ensure that everyone has access to safe, nutritious food because no one deserves to go to bed hungry.
Put a smile on someone's face today by sending them a plate of food.

I received Bodex Whenume Hungbo, the driving force behind the Bodex Social Media Hangout, along with other key figures in Nigeria’s digital media space. Their visit was ahead of the 6th edition of BSMH, a platform that continues to inspire meaningful conversations about the positive impact of digital media in our country.
Lagos has always been the heartbeat of creativity and innovation, and I’m proud to celebrate homegrown talents who make an impact beyond our borders. We’ll keep supporting initiatives that give people a voice, shape the right narratives, and promote responsible use of digital platforms.
