Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, has emphasised the importance of stronger collaboration between government and the private sector in promoting investment, supporting businesses and accelerating economic growth.
Hamzat made this known during his meeting with members of the investment community at the Investment Community Parley hosted by Aztran Global Investments Limited.
Speaking at the engagement, the Deputy Governor noted that sustained economic development requires a strong partnership between government, investors and business operators.
He explained that government has a responsibility to create an enabling environment where investments are encouraged, businesses receive necessary support and economic opportunities are accessible to more residents.
Hamzat also acknowledged the important role of investors and private enterprises in providing capital, promoting innovation, creating employment and strengthening economic activities.
According to him, Lagos must continue to position itself as an attractive destination for investment by maintaining policies and initiatives that support business growth and encourage private sector participation.
The Deputy Governor further stated that the discussions align with the objectives of The Lagos PROMISE, which seeks to build a state where development is measured not only by achievements in infrastructure and economic growth but also by the positive impact on people’s lives.
