Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has urged Nigerian managers and professionals to strengthen ethical leadership, embrace innovation and build institutions capable of responding to rapid economic and technological change.

Sanwo-Olu, represented by Deputy Governor Dr Kadri Hamzat, made the call recently at the 65th Anniversary Dinner and Awards Night of the Nigerian Institute of Management in Lagos, where he warned that professionals who fail to adapt risk being left behind in an increasingly competitive economy.

The event, held at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, was themed ‘Leading Through Transformation: The Human Element in Modern Leadership’.

The Governor said rapid urbanisation, technological disruption, economic transformation and changes in work were placing new demands on leaders across the public and private sectors.
