Today marks a pivotal moment in Lagos State’s economic development. We have formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding with The City UK and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) to establish the Lagos International Financial Centre (LIFC).
This strategic initiative represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to position Lagos as a premier financial hub in sub-Saharan Africa. The partnership underscores our commitment to creating a robust, dynamic financial ecosystem that will attract global investment, stimulate economic growth, and drive innovative financial practices.
The LIFC project is more than an infrastructure development; it is a comprehensive strategy to enhance Nigeria’s financial landscape. By leveraging international partnerships and expertise, we are creating a platform that will strengthen our economic resilience, facilitate international trade, and provide unprecedented opportunities for local and international investors.
We extend our profound appreciation to our partners - EnterpriseNGR, The City UK, and the FCDO - whose vision and collaboration have been instrumental in bringing this transformative initiative to fruition. Together, we are not just developing a financial centre; we are constructing a blueprint for economic transformation.
This is a defining moment for Lagos State and Nigeria. Our journey towards becoming a global financial destination has begun.

This initiative would not have been possible without the outstanding support and partnership of key stakeholders who stood firm in ensuring its success. I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the Ministry of Political, Legislative, and Civic Engagement for their instrumental role in this process.

A special note of gratitude goes to the Special Adviser on Political, Legislative, and Civic Engagement, Dr. Afolabi Abiodun Tajudeen (), whose leadership, vision, and relentless commitment were pivotal in facilitating this support. Dr. Afolabi and his hardworking team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and a genuine passion for uplifting the lives of Lagosians.

I also extend my sincere thanks to the LGA Chairman of Lagos Island, Hon. Rasheed Shobaloju as well as Prince Bayo Sanwoolu whose hands-on approach, commitment to community development, and tireless advocacy for the people of Lagos Island were critical in ensuring this financial assistance reached those who needed it most.
