The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has embarked on a working visit to China, the world’s second largest economy.
He is expected to execute meaningful partnerships that will support the state’s aspiration of becoming a 21st century economy and visit the China Railway Construction Company (CRCC) and China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) for project appraisal.
On this visit, Mr. Sanwo-Olu will explore his presentation to China-Africa Business Council to put Lagos before the Chinese investment community and declare the state’s openness to investors.
Likewise, the governor’s economic ambassadorial role will take him to Zhuhai Changiong Ocean Park, Huawei, GAC Motor Factory and GREE Electrical Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai for possible collaboration in the areas of industry, tourism and facility development.
Specifically, Lagos is seeking investments in infrastructure development, industry, energy, information & communication technology and transportation. Sanwo-Olu’s administration has been unequivocal about its quest for both local and foreign investors to actively participate in the economic and infrastructural development of the state.
While presenting the proposed state budget of N1.1trillion for 2020 to the State House of Assembly last week, Mr. Sanwo-Olu had noted that “the state has revised some of its approval procedures and operating laws to enable business thrive”.
