The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has called on investors in the United States to see the state as the right place for their investments.

The governor said Lagos was available for investments in FinTech, EdTech, Health-Tech, Business Process Outsourcing, and Talent Training and Placement, among others.

He revealed this at a high-level US-Nigeria Council for Food Security, Trade and Investment event on the sidelines of the World Bank-IMF spring meetings at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC, US.

Tweeting after the meeting, Sanwo-Olu said, “At the event, I acknowledged the place of the US-Nigeria Council, as the pre-eminent business organisation working to strengthen economic and commercial ties between the US and Nigeria. By putting the event together, they have again demonstrated the value that they bring to the bilateral relationship between the US and Nigeria.

“During my speech, I reeled out our administration’s achievements in the last four years to the admiration of the investors – achievements, especially in infrastructure, food security, and digital technology.

“While also speaking with the existing and potential investors present at the event, I informed them that if they’re looking to investing in FinTech, EdTech, Health-Tech, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Talent Training and Placement, or Physical Infrastructure like Data Centres, then Lagos is the place to be.”
