SANWO-OLU AT HARVARD: LAGOS IS INVESTORS’ DELIGHT

With a GDP of $259b, a 25 million population, four seaports, and friendly government policies, Lagos is an investor’s delight, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said.

“Lagos is a place where people come in without anything and become somebody. We are a business and commercial powerhouse,” he said on Wednesday.

It was another sales drive for the “State of Aquatic Splendour” at Harvard Business School where Mr. Sanwo-Olu spoke on “Building the Future:Lagos State Infrastructure-led Transformation”. He was a guest in Professor Hakeem Belo-Osagie’s course, “Understanding Africa: Business, Entrepreneurship, Political Economy and the Complexities of a Continent.” Belo-Osagie is a foremost Nigerian investment banker and businessman.

For the Governor, it was an opportunity to share “Lagos’ bold vision and the tangible strides we are making in transportation, housing, innovation, and industrial growth”.

The students applauded as Sanwo-Olu spoke on the Blue Line, Africa’s first intra-city line, which has moved over two million passengers, an average of 42,000 commuters daily. The Red Line is also up and running, he said.
