Through the recently appointed U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to fortifying the state’s ties with the United States. During the ambassador’s Friday courtesy call at Lagos House, Marina, he provided the assurance. “We aspire to strengthen our connections, enhance them, and establish a profound business economy, culture, and bond throughout your term,” he stated. The state administration, according to the governor, is dedicated to enhancing safety and security.
The administration, he continued, was committed to improving Lagos State’s business and investment climate. Building on collaborations is crucial, according to Sanwo-Olu. “Let me formally welcome you to Lagos, the nation’s business hub. “Lagos is similar to a combined version of New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.” We shall compare Abuja to Washington. We appreciate your positive remarks about our city. The fact that Lagos is the destination of your first official journey from Abuja is an honor.
He declared, “Lagos has a great deal of affinity to the United States.” According to Sanwo-Olu, Lagos was vital in helping to develop the economies of the United States and Nigeria. Mill had before declared that “Lagos State matters” and that is why he decided to visit Lagos first. He said he hoped for a more transforming bond.
