Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has expressed the readiness of the state government to collaborate with the Polish government on ways to enhance the economic activities and development of the state in particular and that of the nation in general.
Sanwo-Olu represented by his deputy, Dr. Kadir Obafemi Hamzat, gave this assurance on Monday during a courtesy visit by the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland, Her Excellency.
Joanna Tarnawaska, at the RoundHouse, Alausa-Ikeja, saying that the state was ready to partner with the Polish government through its Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperative.
The governor said through this channel, the state government would be able to work with various companies in Poland for the overall development of both Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.
The governor assured that the partnership between the two tiers of government and the Polish government would be very good as there existed at the federal level, a government that was ready to listen and work on moving the country forward economically and financially and in all sectors of the economy.
“We are happy to work with you. Your Head of Trade Office is here in Lagos. We will see what we can do.
May be interacting through our Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, to see how we can partner with various companies in Poland.
I was reading that you are producing things that are of similar qualities to Germany but the prices are lower, which makes sense for us to work with you.
In this case, we will make sure that we elevate our economic activities and of course Nigeria,” the governor said.
