Lagos State On Its Way To Becoming The Silicon Valley of Africa - Sanwo-Olu (Photo)

Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has stated that the economy and technological development of Lagos State have received a major boost following the investments made in the state by Microsoft Corporation and Dangote Group, IGBERETV reports.

Talking to his Instagram handle, he shared a photo of himself together with Microsoft founder, Bill Gates and Dangote group CEO, Aliko Dangote. Sanwo-Olu wrote;

"Earlier this week, our vision of a Greater Lagos, and a better society for our teeming youths through partnerships and investments received a major boost, and achieved the recognition and validation it deserves.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote of the Dangote Group, and Bill Gates of Microsoft Corporation, are exemplary men who believe in, and keyed into our plans of making Lagos a mega city, and its youths a reference point for innovation, creativity and resilience.

Microsoft in a $100m investment, opened its first African Development Center in Nigeria, making the hub the first in Africa.

The aim of this centre, which is to facilitate the creation of tech solutions that will solve both African and global problems, will nurture, and create employment opportunities for our youths while also working with them to provide software engineering solutions to Africa and the world.

With this move, Lagos state is on its way to becoming the Silicon Valley of Africa.

So also, The Dangote Fertilizer Plant, which was commissioned earlier this week, is the largest Granulated Urea Fertilizer complex in Africa. Built at a cost of $2.5 billion, and occupying 500 hectares of land at the Lekki Free Trade Zone, will produce over 3 million tonnes of urea fertilizer annually.

This plant will not only give Lagos a major boost economically, it will also provide thousands of jobs for our youths, and further put our dear state on the global map as a destination of choice for investments."

You talk as if stinking and smelling gutter is all over Lagos.

Lagos been the former capital and also the British concentration in Lagos helped its present status. The Niger delta should have been ahead of all the regions in this country. But they have fooolish leaders.

You have to remember that Lagos was once Nigeria's capital and as such had an added advantage over the other cities and states around the country.

In addition, Lagos remains the commercial capital of Nigeria as well as the entertainment capital of Nigeria. So it is not surprising that it attracts investment.

Lagos also has a Port where ships come in, several embassies and consulates, an international airport and many other things going for it as a city so I am not surprised.

Oga the human capital in Lagos is what made it the Silicon Valley of Africa.

Rivers state generate lot of money also and what is there to show for it? Per capital, River state receive far more than Lagos revenue from the center and yet you won’t see them mention rivers as part of anything worthy of development Tech wise.

All this shout of Lagos was bla bla bla, why is Abuja not being the tech leader in Nigeria after all the billions invested in it by the FG? FCT was somehow built from the ground while Lagos has rich history of her Yorubaness and development even before it was used as FCT.

Lagos has her first port in the 1910-1930s, have been the trade route for Europeans and have done business with the rest of the world. Nigeria exploited Lagos due to her glory and not the other way round.

Below is a thread of Lagos economy in 1898 before Nigeria amalgamation. Can you show us the economy of your state, Rivers and that of Abuja? Clowns like you only hate what they can't achieve!

Good. The state needs to create laws that enable ease of business so more investments can flow in. But most important is infrastructure. Lagos needs a good road network, robust public transit and adequate housing to accommodate its mammoth population.

Lagos is already the silicon Valley of Africa. As governor you should know but politicians are so out of touch with what is happening in venture capital and tech. That is the reason you fucking morons wake up and make policies that destroy an entire ecosystem.
