The Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has led a delegation on a two day working visit to Portugal in a drive to attract skilled, trustworthy, and capable foreign investors to support the THEMES+ development agenda.

In message on Wednesday, the governor said the primary focus was the Mota-Engil Consortium, one of the largest construction companies in Europe.

“During our visit, we toured the Porto International Airport—Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport—constructed by Mota-Engil, which was truly impressive.

“We also visited their waste management facilities and real estate operations, which provided us with a wealth of knowledge and insight. Mota-Engil has an impressive track record of delivering large infrastructure projects in Africa and this speaks volumes about their capabilities.

“We are focused on potential collaborations for the proposed Lekki-Epe International Airport. This strategic initiative is aimed at alleviating congestion at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport and improving infrastructure along the Lekki-Epe corridor.
