Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will join world leaders across the globe for the Corporate Council on Africa’s 10th Biennial U.S.-Africa Business Summit, to be hosted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from February 1- 4.

The US-Africa Business Forum will bring together 1000 private sector and government officials, including heads of states, entrepreneurs and investors from Africa, United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

This year’s forum will focus on key opportunities and challenges in agribusiness, energy, health, infrastructure, security, trade facilitation, ICT and finance to increase trade and investment.

In a statement yesterday by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, the governor said he would “use this opportunity to position Lagos not just as an investment destination, but also as an emerging economic hub in Africa”.

Ambode will participate in an interactive session during the “Doing Business in Nigeria” forum to discuss investment opportunities in Lagos.
