The Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade, and Investment, Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, who stated this at the African Congress held in Lagos, highlighted retail’s critical role in the state’s economy.

She described retail as integral to Lagos’s cultural and economic framework, spanning “bustling open markets to sophisticated shopping malls” and bridging “cultural, social, and economic divides.”
Ambrose-Medebem positioned Lagos as Nigeria’s economic hub, contributing 30 per cent to the nation’s GDP and serving as a vital magnet for retail investments. She outlined three core principles for the state’s retail policies: inclusivity, accessibility, and sustainability.

She stressed the state government’s commitment to ensuring retail opportunities extend to all communities, encompassing formal and informal sectors. Incentives such as single-digit loans and collaborations with financial institutions aim to reduce business barriers.

The commissioner emphasised eco-friendly retail practices as part of the state’s long-term development strategy, outlined in the Lagos State Development Plan 2052.
