In the statement, the Governor also called on investors to partner with the state in the implementation of its development strategies.
He said, “We strongly believe that the continued growth and success of Lagos is premised on the strength and diversity of our partnerships.”
“It is such strategic partnerships that account for Lagos being by far the leading recipient of local and foreign direct investments in Nigeria.
“It is estimated that, in the last few years, about 80 percent of the investments into Nigeria, has come into Lagos.
“These investments remain vital to our economic growth and wellbeing, supporting tens of thousands of jobs and livelihoods across the city.
“This is the reason why a forum like this is so important – as a platform for harmonising our respective visions and targets and agreeing on key actions that will not only strengthen existing investment partnerships but also initiate new ones.”
