Lagos Strengthens Ties with Netherlands for Investment Summit

Lagos State is intensifying its collaboration with the Netherlands in preparation for the Lagos 3.0 Global Investment Summit, set for June. The engagement featured a high-level delegation from the Netherlands, led by Consul General Michael Deelen, who presented a technical report on the coastal protection pre-feasibility plan.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to attract investments and strengthen climate-resilient infrastructure in Lagos. Folashad Ambros Medebem, who leads Lagos State's investment efforts, described the upcoming summit as a platform to deepen economic transformation and position Lagos as a leading destination for global capital.

The summit, organized in partnership with the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, aims to bring together international investors, policymakers, and business leaders to unlock capital flows and establish Lagos as a gateway to Africa. The Netherlands has committed to supporting Lagos's development priorities, particularly in financing infrastructure projects focused on climate resilience.
