Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, yesterday, said his administration will exploit the huge potentials in the hospitality industry to create jobs for Lagosians.
Speaking at the commissioning of The George, a hospitality centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, the governor promised that the government will expand the frontiers of the hospitality industry in the state to attract investments.
“This is a happy occasion because it has reaffirmed the status of Lagos State as the first choice destination for investment. It also confirms the untapped opportunities in tourism and hospitality sector in Lagos state. Lagos state is known as the Centre of Excellence for a number of reasons. One of these is the accommodating nature of our people and the various tourism and recreation sites that abound in the state.
“We are committed to putting in place relevant policies and incentives that would create an enabling environment for the development of the hospitality sector as a key driver of our administration’s development agenda.”
“Lagos is open for business. We assure you of the safety of your investments and we would continue working to make your investments worthwhile in all cases,” Ambode said, calling on other investors.
He also commended the management of The George for providing accessible road and street lighting within the location of the hotel as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility.
“This gesture shows you as a worthy partner of the state government in infrastructural development,” he said.
