Partnership to serve as a tool for sustainable economic development

From a global perspective, international, interstate and regional partnerships are fast becoming the benchmark for leading practices.

Both states also share a peculiar history and pedigree in demography, economic viability and leading roles within each of their regional geopolitical regions. Indeed, both States represent the most populous metropolises in Nigeria, whilst contributing prominently in boosting Nigeria’s “Ease of Doing Business” Global Ranking.

From a global perspective, inter-national, inter-state and regional partnerships are fast becoming a benchmark for leading practices as globalisation blurs the lines of sovereignty and trade. This is one reason why the Governments of Lagos and Kano States, under the visionary and able leaderships of Their Excellencies - Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode and Dr. Abudulahi Umar Ganduje respectively are taking a lead towards leveraging on the unique comparative and competitive advantages that both states possess with this landmark partnership.

This Summit – the first of its kind in Nigeria – is the first phase in the journey towards a long-lasting partnership and promises to help both States boost economic development and on a general note, foster national unity.  It definitely informs the theme of the Summit: “States Partnership as a tool for Sustainable Economic Development”.
