Governor Ambode To Attend The Global African Investment Summit taking place in London


Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, will join other participants for this year’s edition of the Global African Investment Summit taking place in London this week, where he is expected to deliver a keynote address on investment opportunities in Lagos...


According to a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, the summit will afford the governor the opportunity to intimate investors on the opportunities in the state.

Ambode is also expected to attend the Lagos Investment Roundtable, a business meeting put together by PriceWaterHouseCoopers Global Forum opening in London on Monday.

The statement also said the governor is also billed to attend the Climate Change Summit, where about 40 major cities of the world will be represented.

Ayorinde said, “The economic benefit of these trips is expected to culminate in more investments into the state, which will also have a direct impact on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the state and the people of Lagos will be the ultimate beneficiaries.”

He added, “At the commencement of his administration, Governor Ambode set out by putting structures in place that will create an enabling environment for local and foreign investments to thrive and eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks, which hitherto discourage investors from doing business in the state.”
