Two major conferences were held in Lagos, Nigeria, addressing various African challenges. The inaugural sustainability conference gathered business leaders, investors, and policymakers, who called for sustainability practices to be context-driven and stronger professional standards to be applied. Separately, the AeroWest 2026 Summit brought together leaders from the aviation, tourism, finance, and investment sectors to discuss the state of African connectivity.
