The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has pledged that the legislature will continue to enact business-friendly policies aimed at strengthening the state’s economic base and expanding investment opportunities.
Obasa made this known on Thursday during a courtesy visit by the new leadership of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), led by its President, Engr. Leye Kupoluyi, to the Assembly complex.
The Speaker described Lagos as the heartbeat of Nigeria’s economy, attributing its dominant position to deliberate policy choices and a sustained commitment to growth.
“Lagos remains the heartbeat of Nigeria’s economy, and I firmly believe this position is not by chance but the result of deliberate policies and a sustained commitment to growth,” he said.
Obasa cited landmark legislation including the Public Private Partnership Law, the Employment Trust Fund Law, and the Lagos State Lottery Law as evidence of the Assembly’s commitment to creating an enabling environment for businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors.
He further stated that Lagos was not only strategically positioned within Nigeria but was also poised to lead Africa economically and commercially.
The Speaker expressed appreciation for the insights shared by the LCCI delegation and called for deeper collaboration between governments and the private sector in driving sustainable development and prosperity across the state.
