The Lagos Economic Summit Group (LESG) has postponed Ehingbeti, the Lagos Economic Forum, scheduled for November 10 to 12, 2020.
The Economic Summit themed ‘For a Greater Lagos: Setting the tone for the next decade’, will now hold in the first quarter of 2021 as a component of the Rebuild Lagos Agenda, it said.
The Lagos Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Sam Egube who is also a Co-chair of the Steering Committee said: “Happenings in our immediate past have not significantly altered the focus of the Ehingbeti, but they have broadened breadth of discussions that will happen at the Summit and expanded the composition of stakeholders’ expected to participate in the summit next year.
“We have recently witnessed circumstances that were hitherto not part of our social fabric in Lagos State.
“These surprises have not only necessitated the postponement of the summit, but also compelled a methodical reappraisal of our social system, which Ehingbeti will address in the first quarter of 2021,” Egube said.
