By Mohammed Adekola
Lagos State Gross Domestic Product (GDP)has increased from N27 trillion to N41 trillion within four years. The state government has also developed an initiative tagged, ‘Operation Quadrant Ignite (OQI)’ aimed at having a more robust infrastructure in the Lekki Economic Zone (LEZ).
The objective is to turn the area to Africa’s premier destination for manufacturing, trade, and investment.
Lekki has long been envisioned as the industrial nerve center of Lagos, and through OQI, the vision is being positioned into reality. This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperative, Trade and Investment, Mrs Folashade Ambrose Mebedem, at the Lagos Design Week 2025, Design and Innovation Exhibition, “The Roadmap to Industrialisation.”
She stated that the theme was a clarion call, an urgent appeal for strategic partnerships, bold investments, and unwavering commitment to unlock the immense potential of Lagos state as Africa’s foremost industrial and economic powerhouse.
As part of strategy to propel Lagos into a new era of industrial growth, the Lagos state government, through the MCCTI is preparing to launch a comprehensive industrial policy that will serve as a transformative guide for the state’s economic development.
The government therefore, convened a Consultative and Validation Exercise bringing together captains of industry, policymakers, and leaders to contribute their expertise and insights.
