From a Lagos perspective, global economic engagement took a significant step forward as Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, joined President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week Summit to witness the signing of a comprehensive economic cooperation agreement between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates.
The landmark agreement is aimed at strengthening bilateral trade relations, attracting sustainable investments and deepening economic cooperation between both nations. Beyond formal documentation, the partnership is expected to unlock real opportunities that translate into jobs, improved infrastructure and long-term economic benefits for Nigerians.
For Lagos, Nigeria’s economic and commercial hub, such high-level international engagements are particularly important. Stronger ties with the UAE create pathways for foreign direct investment, access to global markets and strategic partnerships in sectors that drive Lagos’ growth, including infrastructure development, logistics, technology, energy and innovation.
The presence of Governor Sanwo-Olu alongside the President underscores Lagos State’s central role in Nigeria’s economic diplomacy and its readiness to leverage global partnerships to advance sub-national development.
The agreement also reflects the Tinubu administration’s broader commitment to sustainable development, economic diversification and future-focused growth, ensuring that today’s policies deliver lasting value for future generations.
Lagos extends deep appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Asiwaju of Lagos, GCFR, for his visionary leadership, and acknowledges Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s continued efforts to align Lagos with global economic opportunities that benefit residents and the nation at large.
