THE EXPRESSION OF INTEREST, URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, LAGOS MEGA CITY INITIATIVE.

The global ranking of cities rated Lagos as one of the mega cities in the World, together with New York City, Beijing, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg, etc. As one of those cities having a population in excess of 17 million persons, it is imperative to provide facilities and infrastructure for the city that will cope with such large demographics and which will be of comparable standard to what is obtainable in all other mega cities in the World, so as to ensure high quality life for the residents of Lagos.

In line with these needs and objective, the LASG has conceived an initiative to provide the city of Lagos with world class residential, business recreational and other facilities that will measure up to what is obtainable in all the mega cities of World. This will position the state as one of the best cities to live and work on the African Continent.

Lagos State Government is therefore looking for suitable entities to partner with on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) basis to undertake the delivery of a wide range of these facilities which will include residential apartments, shopping/business malls recreation parks, hotels, theme parks, zoos, car parks and other facilities that will add to a modern city lifestyle.
