Okupe applauded the leadership of Governor Sanwo-Olu for prioritizing technology-driven governance. “The Eko Revenue Plus Summit has proven that when government and private sector stakeholders collaborate, the possibilities for revenue generation and sustainable development are limitless,” he said.

 

Reiterating Modo Ante’s commitment, Okupe outlined the consultancy’s three-pronged approach to revenue optimization: Harnessing technology for efficiency, developing customized digital solutions to improve tax compliance, streamline public service delivery, and enhance transparency. Innovative Policy Frameworks: Advising governments on policies that incentivize private sector investment while creating sustainable revenue streams. Strategic Communication: Designing campaigns that foster public trust and encourage compliance with tax and regulatory requirements.

Okupe, who is also the co-Convener of the summit, emphasized the critical role of data analytics and economic modelling in solving complex governance challenges. “At Modo Ante, we believe in the power of data to guide decision-making. Our goal is to provide actionable insights that drive growth and create value for all stakeholders,” he explained.

He stressed the importance of continuous dialogue and knowledge sharing to sustain the momentum generated by the summit. “The Eko Revenue Plus Summit is not just an event; it is the beginning of a movement. Together, we can build a future where technology and innovation drive inclusive growth and prosperity,” he declared.

Following the conclusion of the highly successful Eko Revenue Plus Summit, Modo Ante, a leading consultancy specializing in Governance, Public Sector, and Political Organisation Consulting, has reiterated its dedication to leveraging technology and innovative strategies to optimize revenue generation for governments and corporate organizations.

The two-day summit, brought together policymakers, thought leaders, and private sector stakeholders to explore new revenue streams and innovative approaches to governance and economic development. Anchored by Modo Ante in collaboration with the Lagos State Government, the summit served as a platform for robust discussions on the role of technology and innovation in addressing fiscal challenges and enhancing public service delivery.

In his keynote address, Lagos State Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu advocated for broader revenue strategies in the state beyond taxation, including optimizing state-owned assets and creating new economic opportunities that Eko Revenue Plus Summit would identify. He urged the private sector to partner with the state under the PPPs in creating innovative revenue solutions, particularly in real estate, waste management, and technology and how to hold the government accountable for revenue. According to him, these three identified areas have enormous revenue potentials that are not yet fully tapped.

The Governor underscored the importance of technology as a critical tool for modern governance and revenue optimization. He emphasized the state’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve by embracing innovative solutions to manage its growing urban population and expanding economy.

“The Lagos State Government has consistently demonstrated leadership in adopting cutting-edge technology to drive development and improve revenue collection,” Sanwo-Olu stated. He highlighted the ongoing deployment of digital tools such as the Lagos State Unified Revenue Portal, which has simplified tax collection processes and improved transparency.

During his recap of proceedings, Mr. Abdul-kabir Opeyemi Ogungbo, Special Adviser to the Governor on Taxation and Revenue, presented a detailed roadmap for sustainable revenue growth in Lagos State. He highlighted the state’s achievements in widening the tax net and implementing data-driven policies to improve compliance.

“Our success stems from our ability to innovate and deploy intelligent systems that simplify revenue collection while ensuring accountability,” Ogungbo noted. He cited the state’s partnership with private sector technology firms in developing analytics tools that identify untapped revenue sources.

Ogungbo called on other states in Nigeria to emulate Lagos by prioritizing investments in technology and capacity building. “Revenue generation in the 21st century requires a shift from traditional methods to a more data-centric approach. The Lagos example is a template that can be replicated across the country,” he asserted.

The success of the Eko Revenue Plus Summit underscores the growing recognition of technology and innovation as indispensable tools for governance and economic development. Modo Ante’s pivotal role in organizing the summit and its commitment to transformative solutions solidify its position as a leader in the consulting space.

As the consultancy continues to engage with governments and corporate organizations, it remains steadfast in its mission to deliver impactful results that foster sustainable development. With its expertise in governance, public policy, and political communication, Modo Ante is poised to reshape the future of revenue generation and public service delivery in Nigeria and beyond.

The summit concluded with a renewed call for collaboration between government, private sector, and civil society to address fiscal challenges and unlock new revenue streams. Participants lauded the role of technology and innovation as game-changers in public finance management.

Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice

Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice

 

The Ajiran community of Lagos State erupted in a powerful protest on Tuesday as local youths took to the streets to express their grief and anger over the tragic murders of Prince Ademola Akintoye and Sherrif Agboworin. The demonstration follows the recent decision to reopen the murder case, an investigation that has already led to the arrest of over nine suspects in connection with the heinous crimes committed more than a year ago.

Carrying vibrant banners and poignant posters featuring the faces of the deceased, the protesters marched through the heart of their community while singing somber dirges to honor their memory. With chants of unity and justice ringing in the air, they called on both the Lagos State Government and the Lagos State Police Command to ensure that those responsible are swiftly and decisively brought to justice.

The youth leaders emphasized that peace and normalcy will remain elusive in Ajiran until all those complicit in the killings are held accountable. They articulated that true justice is the only way to restore tranquility and honor the lives of Akintoye and Agboworin, whom they described as innocent victims of a grave injustice.

Speaking on behalf of the demonstrators, youth leader Mr. Kehinde Oladele urged law enforcement to conduct a thorough and fair investigation. He asserted that every individual involved including the nine arrested suspects must face the full extent of the law. Especially Hammed Tajudeen, the principal suspect mentioned by others in custody, whom they believe should not escape scrutiny.

“The reopening of this case after more than a year is a critical first step towards achieving justice and fairness for our brothers,” Oladele said. “We urge the police to get to the root of the matter. Those mentioned during the investigation, especially Hammed Tajudeen, should not be spared.”

The atmosphere in the community grew increasingly tense last week following speculation that prominent businessman Aare Bashir Olawale Fakorede was implicated in the unrest. The speculation appeared to stem from his alleged influence on the reopening of the murder investigation. This misunderstanding escalated when a group of protesters targeted his filling station in Ikate, vandalizing his properties and disrupting business operations in the gas station based on the false assumption that Fakorede was behind the police’s renewed inquiries.

In response to the rising tensions and misinformation, Fakorede’s spokesperson, Ola Muhammed, issued a comprehensive statement denying any connection between Fakorede and the unrest. The spokesperson emphasized that rumors suggesting the businessman orchestrated the revival of the murder case were completely unfounded.

“I feel it is crucial to clarify, for the sake of transparency and historical accuracy, that this entire ordeal is in no way related to me,” Fakorede stated. “I am also very interested to see that the culprits are brought to book. I categorically affirm that I have never been involved in any business dealings with Mr. Hammed Tajudeen.”

Fakorede further elaborated that the recent protests which led to the destruction of his property were reportedly instigated by Tajudeen and others who seem determined to manipulate the narrative and cast suspicion upon him. Fakorede expressed his own strong commitment to uncovering the truth surrounding the deaths.

As the police investigation progresses, it has become increasingly apparent that all accusing fingers are pointing to Hammed Tajudeen who is currently evading capture, adding another layer of complexity and urgency to the ongoing situation. Community members have questioned why he remains at large instead of submitting himself to the police for questioning if he is truly innocent of the allegations against him.

Community leaders are now emphasizing the need for dialogue to address the root causes of the unrest and work toward restoring harmony within Ajiran, even as the demand for justice remains at the forefront of public consciousness.
