"I welcomed a delegation from the World Bank Group to Lagos House, Marina, led by the Managing Director for Operations, Anna Bjerde, and the International Finance Corporation Regional Vice President for Africa, Mr. Ethiopia Tafara.


We had an open and practical conversation about how Lagos can work more closely with the World Bank in areas that matter most to our people, including energy, agriculture, tourism, and human capital development.


We are actively seeking partnerships and investments that raise living standards, and we are prepared to take the necessary steps to earn greater support, especially for infrastructure that directly affects daily life across the state.


I also shared a brief reflection on our journey over the past six years under the THEMES+ agenda. The focus has always been on delivering results that people can feel. Millions of Lagosians have seen real improvements, and while there is still a lot to do, the progress is measurable.


One example is the Ease of Doing Business ranking. Four years ago, Lagos was ranked 29th nationally. Last year, we moved to first place. That did not happen by chance. It came from being more deliberate, more consistent, and more accountable in how government works".- Gov. Sanwo-Olu.
