Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has declared his administration’s readiness to partner with the government of United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the areas of traffic management and security.

The Governor disclosed this when he received the Consul-General of the UAE Consulate in Nigeria, Dr Abdulla Al-Mandoos in Alausa at the weekend.

Sanwo-Olu noted that UAE, in the last decade, had become a choice destination for Nigerian tourists and businessmen. This revelation, the Governor said, should deepen the existing bilateral agreements between Nigeria and UAE.

He said: “As a government, we have several things to learn from the story of UAE’s transformation. Dubai, which is the country’s commercial hub, shares so many similarities with Lagos. This is why I am elated to receive Dr. Al-mandoos and we welcome him.

"Let me disclose that, Lagos is ready to deepen the relationship between the two countries and we are working on collaborations in traffic management and security," the Governor reiterated.

Sanwo-Olu said there would also be collaborations in harnessing Lagos cultural potential to expand local tourism business. He expressed optimism that the envoy’s visit would deepen trade and yield positive results for both countries.

“We are hoping that in your tenure, we shall further expand and grow the relationship of the two countries,” the Governor said.

Responding, Dr. Al-mandoos said the aim of his visit was to get cooperation and support of Lagos government on various areas of interest between Lagos and UAE.

The diplomat promised there would be collaborations in the areas of security and education, noting that the partnership would assist the state to improve its tourism potential.

He said: “It’s my pleasure to meet the Governor of Lagos to consolidate our cooperation and good friendship over the years. My government is looking at supporting Lagos in several areas, which include education and security. This partnership, we believe, will promote businesses and stability of our countries.”

Dr Al-mandoos leveraged the meeting to push the consulate’s land request to the Governor to build its office and a cultural centre.

The envoy said the proposed cultural centre would assist the two countries to build a strong socio-cultural bond, which would further strengthen their relationship.

Every body in the whole Nigeria has someone representing is family in Lagos....
But why is it that we cannot do anything on our own in this country....
Common to control traffic d hard us.....
I wonder how much they paid this country

Ok na

Nah everyday dey they sign partnership deal but nah still the same old lagos

Like in the days of Fash, Eko o ni baje o!

Eko for show, Lagos for Action

Amehdgreat01:

Oche211:

i hear.

Lagos and UAE partnership go be like like VGA Port and HDMI Cable.

These ones go just find Arab man in the streets of lagos come package am with suit and snap pictures with am to deceive the masses that they are about to turn the state to New York.

Ordinary traffic, we are looking for foreigners to help us with

They always sign, partner, agree, invest, inject but still, nothing seems to be changing. I no longer fancy all their bullshit agreement and partnership.

too bad

Bolustical:
Lagos, setting the pace always.

The plan should also include getting rid of those selling gala and wipers on the road as they constitute serious security threat.

[/s]

Damned. What exactly can we do ourselves?

Oche211:
Lagos is working

Harder.

Okay

Hmmm how? We don’t have same kind of roads, technology and anti corruption practices.

Raydos:
Nah everyday dey they sign partnership deal but nah still the same old lagos

To be fair some progress has been made but it's odd to me how they keep signing all these MOUs.

Traffic I get. Security? You want another country to come and help you with internal security? Maybe the UAE should just partner with Germany and find a way to colonize us. Emiratis that depend on European and American professionals for development is the one we are running to for help? Lol. OK o.

What is the contribution of the UAE to the world asides tourism and oil? I'm just curious cos I don't know much.

To whom brain is given, sense is expected
You obviously lack both.
