British Envoy Meets Sanwo-olu, Seeks Partnership On Water Transportation by akelicious(m): 4:06am On Jul 06, 2019 |
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ms Catriona Laing, on Friday met with Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to discuss bilateral partnership, which focused on three key areas of common interest – technology-driven water transportation, investment and smart city initiative. The governor, in company of his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, received the British envoy and her entourage in his office for the bilateral meeting, which was held behind closed doors. The envoy said the meeting was necessary, as it was in continuation of a dialogue with Lagos State government on areas of partnership. Addressing reporters after the meeting, Ms Laing said discussion with the governor and his deputy focused on strategies to be adopted by the Lagos government and private sector partners to enable Lagos realise its aspirations to be a leading city in technology and innovation on the African continent. She said: “There are three topics in particular that we discussed. The first is around the Governor’s vision and how the United Kingdom (UK) can support Lagos to achieve that vision. Technology is changing the world. Lagos is one of the few city-states in Africa that is well positioned to take advantage of the fourth industrial revolution around innovation, robotics and artificial intelligence. “The governor is very clear on achieving this objective. He said his job is to provide necessary infrastructure, particularly power and broadband. At the back of that, the private sector will come in and support in that aspiration.” The envoy said there was a discussion around the African Investment Summit holding in London next January in which 20 African countries, including Nigeria, would be participating. The summit, she said, would come with significant benefits for Lagos, because of unrestrained access to investors and finance. https://www.akelicious.net/2019/07/british-envoy-meets-sanwo-olu-seeks.html 2 Likes

Technology for water transport. The governor should shine his 3 eyes o. These guys almost always have ulterior motives. They don't need to speak too many Queens English. These technologies exists. Just wisdom is what's needed here 9 Likes |

nairalee: I �% agree with you. Who gives someone that level of intimate business access and expects them not to exploit it in one way or another - even if it is more indirect. It's as if some of these people think history is there solely for entertainment. 4 Likes |

Our water transportation system is the new goldmine and everyone is seeking to explore it. From UberBoat to GoBoat, now B.C. They must be seeing some things we aren't seeing as residents. We need futuristic leaders and thinkers. |
