Lagos Targets Increased Export of Made-In-Nigeria Products

he Lagos State government has announced plans to boost the export of Made-in-Nigeria products, noting that the present administration is working with various stakeholders to position products and services in the State for increased export.

The Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs. Folashade Jaji, at the closing ceremony of this year’s Lagos International Trade Fair (LITF), said its efforts are yielding the desired result, as Lagos has become a compelling brand that no investor or business can ignore.

He said the challenge of benchmarking the state against global best practices, making it a model for others to follow is a very herculean task, but achievable.

“Our administration has done a lot to improve the business environment through the implementation of business-friendly policies to improve the ease of doing business in the state, making available incentives and our unrelenting commitment to infrastructural development and renewal. Today, construction works are ongoing in all parts of the state.”

Some of these are already facilitating the intra-city and inter-State exchange of goods and services,” he said.
