He said the economic position of the state, the innovative youth population and the conducive environment provided by the government are what makes Lagos the destination of choice for many investors who have set up businesses in Nigeria.
He made the remark at a Dinner organised for him in Washington District of Columbia.
Speaking further at the dinner organised by Del-York International in his honour at the Intercontinental Hotel in Washington DC, United States on Monday evening, Sanwo-Olu listed technology, infrastructure, renewable energy and entertainment as areas that remain fertile for serious investors to look at, saying that there is a guaranteed return on investments in these for those coming to invest in the state.
The event’s theme was “Investment Opportunities in Lagos, Africa’s Largest Economy”.
While responding to questions on security in Nigeria, the Governor said Lagos is the most secured state in the country, noting that it is one of the major reasons why investors are looking towards the Stateit, promising the audience that his government would continue to make the state inhabitable for criminal minds.
