Ambode in speech talked about a recent PwC report which projected that in 2050, Nigeria would be the world’s 9th largest economy, ahead of UK, France, and Germany. That is, if it makes the right reforms and takes advantage of its immense human capital and natural resources, he said.
He further challenged everyone in the room to play a role in this journey as he’s counting on their support to help make it a reality.
Ambode added “Since May 2015 when the new APC Leadership assumed office, there has been a massive influx of foreign governments and private sector potential partners who recognize the potential of the Country and respective States.
We in Lagos have had more than a fair share of these future investors. We recognize that we have to provide the right climate to make the partnership work, and improving the ease of doing business.
Another exciting journey for Africa has started whether you are in Africa or in Europe, you have a strong incentive to make Africa succeed.”
