The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) and the Lagos State Government have reiterated their joint commitment to creating a more business-friendly environment across Lagos State.
This was disclosed during the State Action on Business Enabling Reforms (SABER) Technical Session and a statewide town hall meeting held at Combo Hall, Agidingbi, Ikeja, on Tuesday.
The session, organised by PEBEC in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Debt Management Office, and the World Bank, focused on driving subnational reforms that enhance the ease of doing business.
Lagos State Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, Folashade Bada-Ambrose, said the state understands that prosperity requires not just potential but concrete reforms built on policy clarity, infrastructure readiness, regulatory transparency, and strong public-private cooperation.
