The Lagos State Government on Friday inaugurated the Lagos International Financial Centre Council as part of efforts to drive investment in the state.
The inauguration comes against the background of collaboration between Lagos State and EnterpriseNGR, a member-led advocacy group that promotes the growth and development of Nigeria’s Financial and Professional Services (FPS) sector as a catalyst for economic development.
Following the inauguration, Lagos State and EnterpriseNGR, are poised to make history as the first African participants invited to join the prestigious Lord Mayor’s Show’s 805th procession in London, a statement said Friday. The partnership is built on a shared goal of positioning Lagos as Africa’s premier financial centre, it added.
