In his words, “This award is a testament to the confidence that investors and stakeholders continue to place in Lagos State’s economic vision and fiscal management framework. Trust remains the foundation of every thriving capital market, and we are committed to sustaining policies that promote transparency, accountability and responsible wealth creation”.
“Lagos State will continue to leverage innovative financing mechanisms and strategic partnerships to accelerate infrastructure development, unlock economic opportunities and improve the quality of life of our residents. We are honoured by this recognition and remain focused on building a stronger, more resilient and globally competitive economy”, the HC added.
The award further reinforces Lagos State’s position as a preferred investment destination and a model of fiscal sustainability, while highlighting the impact of the Sanwo-Olu administration’s THEMES+ Agenda on the growth and transformation of Africa’s largest sub-national economy.
