The Special Adviser on Legal Matters to the Lagos State Governor on Public-Private Partnerships, Mrs Bukola Odoe, on Thursday, said the state government planned to partner with more stakeholders to further develop the economy of the state in the coming year.
The Office of Public-Private Partnerships is the agency of the Lagos State Government mandated to facilitate and implement partnerships between the public and private sectors.
Speaking at an interactive engagement with members of staff, Odoe said 2024 was key to the attainment of numerous goals of the state government, adding that the office of the PPP would ensure necessary support to actualise the T.H.E.M.E.S.+ Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s government.
Describing 2024 as a year of renewed impact and consolidation, Odoe said there was a need to look ahead and build on the achievements of Sanwo-Olu’s administration in the last four years, particularly in the area of public infrastructure.
“The aim is to strengthen and renew partnerships to launch even more ambitious and impactful projects that align with the laid-out plans in the T.H.E.M.E.S.+ development agenda of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“The Office of Public-Private Partnerships remains committed to fostering productive partnerships that promote the development of Lagos State, contribute to the well-being of its residents, and position Lagos as a leading city in public infrastructure development,” she said.
She stressed that her office would work towards driving economic growth and development across the state by harnessing the expertise and efficiencies that the private sector could bring to the delivery of more public infrastructure.
