In his keynote address at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Falomo Towers development in Ikoyi, Lagos, Elumelu said, growth of the NIgeiran economy can be delivered by the private sector with the help of public sector leaders.

“We believe that the growth of our economy, will be delivered by the private sector, but for the private sector to do well, our public sector leaders must create the right environment. The partnership we are celebrating today is a model, not just for Nigeria, but for Africa.  I salute all those who have contributed to this exciting venture, not least His Excellency, whose vision we are delivering,” he stated.

The Falomo Towers project is being developed by joint venture partners, Afriland Properties Plc, investee company of the Heirs Holdings Group, and the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC), a step which Elumelu described as a demonstration of the governor’s commitment to private sector growth in Lagos state and the country.

On his part, the governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in his address, commended the JV partners for their commitment to the Nigerian real estate sector and their vision in redeveloping the iconic Lagos landmark. He praised both companies for what he believed would be an exemplary delivery of a public-private partnership.
