I was pleased to welcome Bodex Whenume Hungbo, the visionary behind the Bodex Social Media Hangout (BSMH), alongside other influential figures from Nigeria’s digital media space. Their visit comes ahead of the 6th edition of BSMH—an inspiring platform that continues to spark vital conversations on the positive influence of digital media in our society.
Lagos remains the epicenter of creativity, innovation, and digital growth in Nigeria. It’s always a pleasure to celebrate homegrown talents who are not only shaping narratives locally but also making a global impact.
As a government, we are committed to supporting platforms like BSMH that empower voices, encourage responsible digital engagement, and promote the constructive use of social media for societal good.
We look forward to the continued success of this initiative and the meaningful dialogue it inspires.
The Bodex Social Media Hangout has become a hub for thought leadership, advocacy, and the promotion of responsible online engagement. It brings together influencers, content creators, tech innovators, policy makers, and the public to explore how digital tools can be used to inform, uplift, and unify our communities.
As the commercial and creative capital of Nigeria, Lagos is proud to lead the way in championing innovation—especially in digital spaces where young Nigerians are making global waves. From storytelling to entrepreneurship, activism to entertainment, social media continues to be a transformative force. It is therefore crucial to support initiatives like BSMH that emphasize accountability, digital literacy, and the power of positive content.
Our administration remains committed to backing homegrown ideas that amplify the right narratives, encourage civic engagement, and give our youth the platforms they need to thrive.
I commend Bodex and her team for their dedication and consistency in building this impactful event. We look forward to the 6th edition of the Bodex Social Media Hangout and the meaningful conversations it will ignite.
Together, let’s continue to harness the power of digital media for development, unity, and progress.
