Lagos GDP Hits ₦‎41 Trillion, Ranks 7th In Africa by Sonyboom: 3:21pm On May 02
The Lagos State Government has revealed that its Gross Domestic Product, GDP, has moved from N27trn to N41 trillion within four years of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration.

Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Ope George, disclosed this on Thursday, during the ongoing ministerial press briefing to commemorate the first year in office of the second term of Governor Sanwo-Olu, held at Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.

According to George, “Over the last couple of years, Lagos had face numerous challenges particularly when COVID 19 and Endsars struck.

According to George, “Over the last couple of years, Lagos had face numerous challenges particularly when COVID 19 and Endsars struck.

“And so we have had a lot of shocks within our system over the last couple of years and with everything going on around the world.

“We are currently riding the curve and we are coming out on a better side. “You hear sometimes when they say Lagos is one of the largest economies in Africa and truly, it’s not static, we will continue to move based on what’s going on in the world.


As we speak now, I believe that we are currently ranked 7th in terms of GDP in Africa. “We contributed at least a minimum of over 20 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP and you will find that over a period of review, during the first term of Mr Governor, we are moving in the right direction.

“Our GDP has moved from about N27trn to N41 trillion, everything shows that our indices are climbing in the right direction despite all the shocks and all the problems we have witnessed in the past.”

GDP is the standard measure of the value added created through the production of goods and services in a country during a certain period.

Legacy of Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Some people claim all Tinubu knows how to do is generate IGR then I begin to wonder should humans be celebrating those not able to generate increase in IGR.

The Alpha Beta that pioneered this revenue generation is what some people call evil n fraud yet no company or business of their since 1999 is able to raise 1/100 of what Alpha Beta as done.

As a decentralized Nigeria just imagine if your tribesmen is the one with innovation to generate such income for your state n you come online to see ipob label your effort as fraud how will you feel or respond to that.

That's Not correct at all

41 trillion won't even get you into the top 15

At that exchange rate of $1 to 1300 naira

That's just over $31 billion

And would put you 19th

The more the naira falls the lower it gets

a Lagos market is currently being burnt by hoodlums. The governor is being deluded by the mirage of what he is seeing now. Investors are seeing another thing. Trust me divestment will happen rapidly.

More fake , hollow GDP stats. Na so dem dey take decieve themselves then and naive investors.
Anytime they wanted to chest beat then they post rubbish GDP and IGR stats. Telling everyone that state like my Edo state is weak. Investors are far wiser now and do not believe any of these Yoruba manufactured stats .. Just look at where the Chinese set up most of their businesses for you to know that foreigners knows what's up.

Abeg come and invest in Edo state. No matter how they tried , aigbe ovbie osa!!! 🤣

If you follow Yorubas ehn you go enter bush 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We sabi Dem here well🤣🤣🤣🤣 if Yoruba man tells you it's afternoon pls check twice . Or maybe he wants to cause fight between you and evening 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you quote me to talk rubbish ehn ,tughagbeho ewobi dan 🤣

Invest in Lagos at your own peril. Come down to Edo state and invest to have peace of mind.

That's an impressive leap of N14 trillion by Lagos State in terms of GDP.

Right from the then Governor Bola Tinubu years to that of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, with the presence of the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ), the new Lekki Deep Seaport, Dangote Refinery, the Tech hubs, etc, in full swing... 7th in Africa in terms of GDP is no mean feat!

There's MORE to be done though in order to be globally competitive as an international business hub.

Bros you guys are too desperate to spread propaganda. On what basis was the calculation used to arrive at the figure? when Nigeria's own shrunk, is it Lagos that will be growing?
