The Lagos State government has reiterated its commitment to increase inflow of investment and foreign capital through the reforms and provision of enabling environment for commerce.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, who stated this at the official opening of a N31.5 billion Novare Lekki Mall in Lagos, stressed that the multi-billion naira project, built through direct foreign investments, was a testimony of his administration’s drive to promote commerce and industry.
