Sanwo-Olu showcases Lagos investment appeal at Harvard Business School
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday pitched Nigeria’s commercial capital as a prime investment destination during a guest lecture at Harvard Business School in the United States.
Speaking on the topic “Building the Future: Lagos State Infrastructure-led Transformation” as part of Professor Hakeem Belo-Osagie’s course “Understanding Africa: Business, Entrepreneurship, Political Economy and the Complexities of a Continent”, Governor Sanwo-Olu highlighted Lagos’ economic strength, infrastructure projects, and policy reforms aimed at driving growth and attracting global investment.
“With a GDP of $259bn, a population of 25 million, four seaports, and investor-friendly policies, Lagos is a business and commercial powerhouse,” Sanwo-Olu said. “Lagos is a place where people come in without anything and become somebody.”
He emphasised that Lagos is experiencing a transformation through infrastructure development, particularly in transportation, housing, education, technology, and healthcare.
