Fitch Upgrades Lagos Ratings To AAA by afroniger: 12:28pm On Sep 14, 2021

Fitch Ratings, an Internationally renowned rating agency, has upgraded Lagos State ratings from AA+ (nga) to AAA(nga) for its good standing in terms of its debt sustainability and resilience.

A statement on Monday titled ‘Fitch upgrades Lagos ratings to AAA, attests to its good standing and resilience’, said while communicating the development to the Commissioner for Finance, Dr Rabiu Olowo, Fitch Ratings said the feat was published in the Y2020/2021 rating report.

It stated that the upgrade of the national long-term rating reflected Lagos State’s strength compared with national peers as well as its resilient operating performance during the pandemic.

The congratulatory message signed by the Senior Director, Head Sub-Saharan Africa, Mr Andrew Parkinson, said, “I just wanted to say congratulations on the upgrade to AAA (nga).

“This is a fantastic achievement and an endorsement of all the good work going on in your department."

Beautiful. Congratulations to the 5th largest economy in Africa.

Lagos is open for business, don't put your business in places that are bad for business.

If you have a business in the North where bandits, Boko Haram, kidnappers and herdsmen are killing people, transfer your HQ to Lagos.
Dangote is from Kano but the HQ of his business is in Lagos.

If you are unfortunate enough to have a business in the East where those unserious people called Ipob are violently shutting down businesses everyday, transfer your business to Lagos. 90% of Igbo Billionaires either have businesses in Lagos have business ties to Lagos.

Lagos is open for business, don't use sentiments and put your business in places that are not conducive for business.

Fitch should locate their office to Amuwo Odofin and see if they will come outside after it rains for an hour

It means that companies and international businesses will rather invest in Lagos than Nigeria. It also means that Lagos is financially healthier than Nigeria as an economy.
By the time Lagos starts collecting VAT, the rating could be at par with California, New York, Berlin and Singapore etc.

Meanwhile Buhari and Lawal are busy writing to each to keep borrowing every week and reducing our rating instead of thinking out of the box.

That's how we roll, if we can win the war on VAT Lagos would witness more development cos all our money being shared in the north would be used to develop the state the more.

Ultimately, if we can get rid of bad leadership and our money wouldn't be used in buying private jets again, we'd be more developed.

And you think that doesn't happen in Newyork, Paris, London, Johannesburg??

Sometimes, y'all think what you see happening in Lagos is peculiar to Lagos. No nigga, that happens everywhere.

He can't know that. All he knows are the slums of Abia and the cesspit of Onitsha. He's a pained bigot and it is that pain that will kill him.
