Since 2009, Ibile Foundation has been involved in the delivery of numerous initiatives to promote Lagos which has earned it the title “The Foundation for Future Lagos”. Under the global theme “Preserving the best of the past, Striving for quality today and Planning properly for the future”, Changing Face of Lagos will utilise digital media platforms to showcase the socio-economic development projects around Lagos and present the bright and prosperous FutureLagos that is emerging.
Changing Face of Lagos will through multimedia platforms, propagate Lagos’ economic and investment opportunities, tourism potential, immense arts and cultural heritage and her wide range of entertainment hospitality, culinary and leisure experiences.
All completed and ongoing projects being executed across Lagos will be featured on the digital platform and mobile app, as well as future planned projects to be implemented over the next five years.
The Changing Face of Lagos website will act as the content hub for details of all projects around “IBILE” and will provide regular updates on ongoing projects across Lagos while availing Lagosians the opportunity to be a part of the changing face of their city.
Among ongoing projects to be given attention are the Eko Atlantic City, Light Rail Project, Oshodi Bus Terminal, Ikeja Bus Terminal, Cleaner Lagos Initiative, Lagos Airport Road Project, Lagos Badagry Expressway and numerous roads infrastructure projects across all local governments and local government development areas around the state.
The initiative will also include the e-citizens engagement platforms, YourVoiceLagos and Tell Governor Ambode, to give every Lagosians the opportunity to have a voice in their government.
