Governor Sanwo-Olu, while accepting the Grand Patron title, expressed appreciation to the BSMH team for its commitment to fostering social media awareness and digital literacy. He noted that Lagos remains “the heartbeat of innovation and creativity” and reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to supporting initiatives that encourage constructive online dialogue.

The Governor was also presented with the “Most Digital Media Friendly Governor of the Year” recognition, honoring his administration’s strides in tech-driven governance and open communication with citizens.

The upcoming edition, BSMH 6.0, will explore the theme “Social Media and A.I Influence: Transforming Yourself, Services, and the Society.” The theme highlights the role of technology and artificial intelligence in shaping human behavior, creativity, and professional growth in today’s fast-changing digital space.

The BSMH initiative has grown into a major national platform that unites media professionals, influencers, content creators, and students to discuss the evolving impact of social media. The Lagos visit marked another milestone for the team as they continue their mission to bridge the gap between online engagement and real-world impact.
