Woodhall Capital sponsored the 9th edition of the Lagos Corporate Assembly as part of the firm’s 10th anniversary celebration, providing an engagement platform for both the public and private sectors, for relevant businesses to bring up their concerns. The Lagos Corporate Assembly is an event hosted bi-annually by the Lagos State Governor. For this edition of the Lagos Corpo-rate Assembly, the Governor of Lagos State with Jumoke Oduwole; Special Advisor to the Presi-dent on the Ease of Doing Business, along with Adegoke Fayoade, The Commissioner of Police and Folasade Ambrose-Medebem, The Commissioner of Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and In-vestments, participated in this year’s event, by answering questions from the interactive session with people that attended the event.
This forum was a success as it represented a great way to integrate the private and public sectors through its provision of a powerful platform for understanding the perspectives and sen-timents of the business community.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu assured the audience that their feedback would be incorporated into policies and called for a collective effort from all stakeholders to ensure ease whilst conducting business. “Allow me to emphasise that in our team’s development agenda, we are unravelling our commitment to fostering an environment where business can flourish. This agenda embodies our vision for a greater Lagos,” he expressed during his speech.
Furthermore, Dr Jumoke Oduwole assured foreign investors that Lagos State, the 6th largest economic state in Africa, is indeed open for business, as she stressed the removal of bu-reaucratic bottlenecks.
