Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu presented the digital book at the Lagos Investment Summit 2.0, themed “Scaling Action: Bold Solutions Towards Making Lagos a 21st Century Economy.” The event took place at the Grand Ballroom of Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, and was attended by policymakers, international investors, industry leaders, and development partners, all focused on driving sustainable and inclusive economic growth in the State.
Speaking on behalf of the Governor, Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat described the Deal Book as evidence of Lagos State’s evolution into a prime investment hub.
He noted that the projects span areas such as green energy, industrial estates, tourism, housing, and logistics parks, demonstrating that the opportunities in Lagos are tangible, scalable, and ready for execution.
His words: “The Lagos of today is dynamic, determined, and deeply focused, but the Lagos of tomorrow, our Lagos of 2052, must be deliberately shaped, strategically governed, and courageously built. That is the future we are here to unlock.
Lagos is ready to scale, to build, and to lead and I urge you to seize the expanding opportunities across sectors as the State is rising, intentionally, intelligently, and inclusively.”
“The theme of the Summit is far more than a slogan. It is a declaration of intent. It encapsulated our shared ambition to build an economy that is modern, inclusive, resilient, and globally competitive, a Lagos that works for all, now and in the decades to come.
The summit comes at a defining moment in our trajectory, as we consolidate the foundational reforms of the past six years and accelerate the execution of our long-term vision for the future.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu affirmed that the State’s policies, projects and programmes, driven through a five-point development agenda rooted in infrastructure renewal, economic diversification, human capital development, technological innovation, and governance reform are to position Lagos to become Africa’s foremost economic and innovation hub as they were designed not only for today’s needs, but for tomorrow’s growth.
“Let me close by reaffirming a simple but powerful message: Lagos is open for business. This is not rhetoric, it is reality. our doors are open and our hands are extended. We are ready to partner with you, whether you are an angel investor, multinational, development agency, foundation, or innovation hub.
Lagos welcomes financiers, developers, climate funds, digital innovators, and manufacturers. Join us to build a Lagos that is intelligent, inclusive, intentional and globally revered,” he said.
The Governor praised the Ministry of Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, Sterling One Foundation, the Office of Sustainable Development Goals, and other partners for their commitment to driving meaningful policy discussions and fostering practical investment connections.
He emphasized that the summit’s energy sent a clear message: Lagos is not waiting for the future, it is actively creating it.
Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, Mrs. Folashade Kaosarat Bada Ambrose, described the summit as a meeting point of capital, commitment, and conviction. She highlighted the State’s shift from making policy statements to facilitating deal-driven engagements through well-structured platforms such as curated deal rooms.
“Anchored on the Lagos State Development Plan (LSDP 2052) and the upcoming Lagos State Industrial Policy (2025–2030), this second edition of the Summit signals a transformative leap, a deliberate move from concept to execution, from isolated engagements to systemic alignment.
Every policy, every reform, and every initiative is mapped against four key pillars: Thriving Economy, Human-Centric Development, Modern Infrastructure, and Effective Governance, ensuring Lagos evolves in scale, quality, inclusion, and sustainability. This summit is therefore a pivotal moment in the journey toward that ambitious 2052 vision,” she said.
She described Summit 2.0 as a launchpad for bold ambitions and practical outcomes, where private sector partners including multilateral agencies, development finance institutions, anchor investors, and startup ecosystems are not mere observers but active co-creators of the future.
Investment opportunities were showcased across a range of sectors, including transportation, healthcare, sustainable development, energy, innovation and technology, the green economy, and more.
