BusinessDay unveils socio-economic report of Ambode’s administration Monday

Ambode

BusinessDay, Nigeria’s foremost business and financial daily, will on Monday unveil to the public a socio-economic report detailing the achievements of the outgoing administration of Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

The report, prepared by a 14-man team of researchers/analysts drawn from BusinessDay Research and Intelligence Unit (BRIU) and the editorial department, highlights in detail the cycle of development and growth that has evolved in Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial hub and centre of excellence, within the four-year period since Ambode assumed office on May 29, 2015.

The 64-page report printed in gloss will come as an insert in BusinessDay on Monday and will be available in major hotels and eateries across the country as well as on-board airlines.
In drafting a detailed analysis of the state, BusinessDay embarked on an extensive research across different sectors of the economy including health, education, tourism and entertainment, maritime, trade, financial market, Fintechs and digital technology, amongst others.

The report features Lagos as a driver of the Nigerian economy; how Lagos is transforming into Africa’s Silicon Valley; the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), London and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges; the making of Lagos as Africa’s international finance centre and trade and transport hubs.

It also covers how the state climbed up the ladder to become the fifth biggest economy in Africa despite being a state; the night life; the expatriate communities in Lagos; the tourism and entertainment industry in the state, and the ocean economy.

To achieve a high practical standard reporting, BusinessDay got the views and reactions from various groups and organisations that in one way or the other contributed in the growth success of the state including Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man and chairman of Dangote Group; the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), a business organisation with over 2,000 members, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, global auditing and consulting firm.
