Sanwo-Olu, Aig-Imoukhuede Lead Delegation To Lord Mayor’s Show To Attract Foreign Investments

Lagos State government and EnterpriseNGR; an advocacy group that promotes the growth and development of Nigeria’s Financial and Professional Services (FPS) sector as a catalyst for economic development, have concluded arrangements to take part in the Lord Mayor’s Show in London.

The decision of the Lagos State government and EnterpriseNGR to take part in the Lord Mayor’s Show holding in London this week was disclosed at the weekend during a press conference by the Lagos International Financial Center (LIFC) Council chaired by Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and co-chaired by EnterpriseNGR’s Chairman, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, CON.

Speaking at the press conference, Governor Sanwo-Olu, who had earlier signed an Executive Order Three to inaugurate the Lagos International Financial Center Council, symbolising his administration’s commitment to making the state a global financial hub, said Lagos State and EnterpriseNGR, are poised to make history as the first African participants invited to join the prestigious Lord Mayor’s Show’s 805th procession in London.

The ground-breaking collaboration between Lagos State and EnterpriseNGR, strengthened by the inauguration of the Lagos International Financial Centre Council in partnership with   EnterpriseNGR, is built on their shared goal of positioning Lagos as Africa’s premier financial centre to attract foreign investments.

During the Lord Mayor’s Show, Lagos, represented by Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State and other members of the Lagos International Financial Center Council, will engage in strategic one-on-one and bilateral meetings with key United Kingdom-based businesses, investors, government officials, and Nigerians in the  diaspora, all with one message: “Lagos is open for investors to come and invest in Africa’s economic powerhouse.”
