MARINA, Nigeria, June 30, 2026 - The Lagos State Government has advanced its macroeconomic partnership frameworks and foreign direct investment attraction tracks following a high-level corporate courtesy visit hosted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Held at the Lagos House in Marina, the executive session welcomed the Senior Management Team of the Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), a premier Middle Eastern financial group.
The specialized delegation, led by the Executive Head of International Corporate Banking, Mr. Asif Karmally, explored the vast commercial openings Lagos provides as Africa's leading financial and business epicenter. The round-table discussions centered on unbundling cross-border liquidity partnerships, expanding corporate credit access lines for local enterprises, and developing sustainable mechanisms to derisk large-scale infrastructure loans.
Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that continuously upgrading the ease of doing business and reinforcing legal protections for institutional investors is an absolute prerequisite for driving long-term economic expansion. The administration, through the Lagos State Security Trust Fund and economic ministries, pledged to sustain a highly secure environment where global financial institutions can confidently anchor high-yield developmental capital state-wide.
