He emphasized that Lagos is a beacon of innovation, and the launch of MyLagos App is a testament to the state’s commitment to becoming a leading smart city in Africa.

The MyLagos App was developed through a public-private partnership, with MTN Nigeria and other key stakeholders collaborating with the Lagos State Government to bring this vision to life.

By serving as a vital link between the government and residents, the MyLagos App promotes transparency, efficiency, and improved service delivery in Lagos.

A key factor in the success of the MyLagos App is the collaboration between the Lagos State Government, MTN Nigeria, and other stakeholders. Governor Sanwo-Olu praised this public-private partnership, noting that it demonstrates the power of synergy in driving meaningful progress.

He encouraged residents to embrace the digital era by downloading the MyLagos App and taking full advantage of its features.
