Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Friday, urged investors to take advantage of the market that Lagos represents, saying that the state was always open to partnership.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made the call at Alausa, Ikeja during a courtesy visit by the African Delegation from World Economic Forum (WEF).
The delegation was represented by the Head of Regional Agenda Africa of WEF, Chido Munyati and the Community Lead, African Regional Agenda, Mrs. Abir Ibrahim.
The governor said Lagos remained the best place to do business, noting that his administration, having attracted a lot of significant investments into the state, would continue to make Lagos attractive for investors.
Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by the Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Sam Egube, said Lagos understands its role not only for development but as a national asset.
“To lift Lagos requires a combination of partnerships. The responsibility to lift Lagos and Nigeria requires a significant amount of partnerships. So, we welcome the partnership you offer from the World Economic Forum.
In our 30 years development plan in Lagos, we prioritise sectors that we want to focus on and we want people to participate wherever they are and take advantage of the market that Lagos represents.
“We need a lot of partners that can invest in good projects. Lagos is an investment destination. We have attracted a lot of significant investments into Lagos,” he said.
