In Nigeria, a new narrative for the fashion and creative economy is emerging, one where creativity meets commerce, and where space becomes the foundation for economic growth. At the heart of this shift stands Le Baztion, the consulting firm redefining the future of design and construction in Africa.
Le Baztion’s recent work on the Ananse Design Centre — in partnership with Mastercard Foundation, Ananse Africa and the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture & Creative Economy, exemplifies this mission. The Centre, which was recently launched in October demonstrates how strategic design, visionary thinking, and seamless project management can create real impact, transforming infrastructure, fashion, and innovation.
Ayodeji Toyobo, Founder/CEO of Lebaztion, started the design and construction consulting firm to transform how Africa builds through strategic innovation and integrated project delivery. With an extensive background in architecture and business strategy for Fortune 100 companies like Google, Meta, PwC, UNDP, and more. Ayodeji’s company is creating spaces that drive economic growth, sustainability, and social impact across Nigeria.
“We don’t just build structures; we build systems of opportunity,” says Ayodeji Toyobo, Founder/CEO of Lebaztion.
“Our work partnering with Ananse Centre proves that well-designed spaces can be an economic catalyst, driving jobs, innovation, and empowerment across Africa.”, he stated.
The Ananse Design Centre, located on Nike Art Gallery Road in Lagos, will empower young creatives with access to training, tools, and global market exposure within the fashion industry. Le Baztion played a pivotal role in transforming that vision into a tangible, sustainable space that amplifies productivity, fosters collaboration, and builds long-term economic value keys into its own corporate vision to empower talents.
With Ananse’s vision to expand across multiple African markets like Ghana, Kenya and Rwanda; Le Baztion is supporting this curve on shaping not only how Africa builds but also how it trains and grows its workforce through well-designed environments.
