Sanwo-Olu Pursues Global Investment in London Summit

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, addressed delegates at the Commonwealth Trade and Investment Summit held at Mansion House in London, where he sought global investment partnerships. He highlighted Lagos as a prime destination for long-term investment, emphasizing the advantages of the Commonwealth, which includes a shared language, legal systems, and history among its 56 member states.

Sanwo-Olu noted that Africa is home to the world's youngest population and that the Commonwealth's combined population of 2.7 billion provides a strong platform for trade. He stressed the need for genuine engagement in global trade and investment, particularly in Lagos, which he described as Nigeria's commercial hub, generating roughly a third of the nation's GDP.

Sanwo-Olu also announced that Lagos will host the Invest Lagos 3.0 summit on June 8-9 in partnership with the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, aimed at showcasing investment opportunities across various sectors.
