GOV. SANWO-OLU TO WOO BRITISH INVESTORS AT UK INSTITUTE OF DIRECTORS' INVESTMENT FORUM.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-

 

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will on Monday January 18, 2021 lead members of the Lagos State Executive Council to make a strong pitch to British businesses and policy makers in a new push to attract Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria and Lagos State in particular.
Sanwo-Olu will present business opportunities in Nigeria and the significance of investing in Lagos as the keynote speaker at a virtual event organized by the United Kingdom’s Institute of Directors.
Interestingly, the event makes Governor Sanwo-Olu the first elected black leader to address the United Kingdom Institute of Directors (IoD-Uk) in its over 100 years of existence. Specifically, the governor will take the platform to showcase Lagos to the British investors for investment consideration following the UK’s exit from the European Union.
“As a state contributing about 40% of Nigeria’s $410bn GDP and housing over 10% of the country 220 million population, Lagos is evidently a fertile ground for investment and big market for commerce” said Samuel Egube, Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, who is also the Co-Chair of Ehingbeti - Lagos State Economic Summit scheduled to hold next month.
“Over 100 large British Businesses have registered to participate in the virtual investment forum, while Helen Grant, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Special Trade Envoy to Nigeria, Rt. Hon Granr Shapps, Secretary of State for Transport and Rt. Hon Elizabeth Truss, Secretary of State for International Trade and President Board of Trade will lead British public sector leaders to participate at the forum” according to Helena Drake, IoD Branch Manager for Yorkshire and North East.

“The IoD Director General, Mr. Jon Geldart, who will lead his executive and other board members, will moderate the event” an excited Drake added “the IoD is committed to facilitating business relations and seeking investment openings for its members in any part of the world”.
Nigeria is a major investment and trade destination for Britain following its exit from the European Union and the British government’s £37 billion to boost trade expansion in Africa, where Nigeria is the biggest economy and Lagos holds the enviable position as the 6th largest economy with its 40% contribution to Nigeria’s GDP of $410billion, which is bigger than that of 20 African countries.
The IoD Investment Forum according to Mr. Olusegun Fafore, Executive Assistant to Mr. Sanwo-Olu, will afford the governor opportunity to personally market the investment opportunities in Lagos directly to investors and UK businesses seeking to expand into Lagos”.
“The governor is the Chief Marketing Officer of the state. He will promote the state and Nigeria using the IoD platform. Lagos as the largest market in West Africa and economic hub of Nigeria offers investors a guaranteed return on investment, and with the purposeful leadership provided by Mr. Sanwo-Olu to revamp infrastructure and reposition the state on the Ease of Doing Business, we are sure Lagos will continue to hold the best attraction for any discerning investors. This is the point the governor will be making to the British businesses and policy makers at the forum.”
IoD was established in 1903 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1906 as a business organisation for top business leaders and entrepreneurs and it is the longest running organisation for professional leaders in Britain.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
