Governor Ambode spoke on
Thursday 31st March in Lagos at the formal unveiling of the Office
of Overseas Affairs and Investment, otherwise known as Lagos Globa.He said that
in anticipation of the increased socio-economic activities, his administration
has resolved to prioritize the achievement of the four pillars of the Lagos
State Development Plan (2012-2015) which included economic development,
infrastructural development, social development and security, and sustainable
environment.
The Lagos Global, which is an
initiative of the Ambode administration, is a one-stop shop designed to
encourage ease of doing business and help to turn Lagos into Africa’s model
megacity and global economic and financial hub that is safe, secure, functional
and productive.
Governor Ambode, who was represented at the unveiling by the

in place so far have ensured that the state remained the desired business

the $1.65 billion Lekki Deep Seaport.
He assured that the seaport would be completed in 2019 and upon
completion will be the deepest seaport in Sub-Saharan Africa, adding that the
Badagry Creek Industrial Park, a $1.3billion investment meant for completion in
2018 and the $12 billion Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Park were among
other investments coming to the State.
