Governor Ambode,who spoke at the presentation of the certificate held at the Renaissance Hotel,Ikeja,Lagos,said the development was not only historic in the annals of the State but a confirmation that the efforts to build a globally competitive State had received international recognition.
The Governor said it was gratifying to note that despite the challenges faced by the State in many areas including transportation,security,ocean surge,flooding,high unemployment rate,pressure on physical and social infrastructure,growth of slums and a huge housing defivit,Lagos remained resilient and ever progressive.
While alluding to the objective of his administration to make every community in Lagos economically liveable and stem rural-urban flight,the Governor said deliberate initiatives have been put in place to address the housing deficit,transport challenges and economic development,among others.
He said ''We acknowledge these challenges and needs; and now as a member of the 100 resilient Cities of the World,we have a platform to compare notes with cities who have similar experiences and create innovative and mitigating strategies.Lagos is currently home to about 23 million inhabitants with an estimated 86 people moving into Lagos every hour.This creates challenges of managing a daily increase in human and vehicular movement,'' he said.
The Governor,who said that resilience had always been part of the Lagos Story,said despite the fact that the State remained the smallest state in Nigeria by geographical size,it is the largest by population and economic power.More photos below.
