The report was unveiled at Lagos House, Marina, during a meeting between the Lagos State Government, leaders of EnterpriseNGR, and members of the Lagos International Financial Centre Council.
Eko Hot News reports that it outlines a clear roadmap for building a world-class financial hub designed to drive economic growth, deepen financial markets, and promote innovation across Nigeria.
According to the State Government, the Phase One Report reflects extensive policy planning, technical expertise, and sustained collaboration among key stakeholders over time.
The initiative is positioned as a long-term institutional project rather than a personal or political one, ensuring continuity beyond any single administration.
The government acknowledged the support and technical input of EnterpriseNGR, the UK Government, and TheCityUK, noting that credible financial centres are built on strong institutions, disciplined reforms, and trusted global partnerships.
The next phase of the Lagos International Financial Centre Council project will focus on execution and durable reforms aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s financial ecosystem.
Officials подчеркed that while Lagos is leading the initiative, its ultimate impact is national, with the potential to improve financial systems and investment confidence across the country.
The Lagos International Financial Centre is expected to enhance Nigeria’s competitiveness, attract global capital, and position the country as a leading financial destination in Africa.
