GOVERNOR AMBODE APPOINTED VP OF COMMONWEALTH ENTERPRISE AND INVESTMENT COUNCIL.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has been appointed as the Vice President of Commonwealth Enterprise
and Investment Council (CWEIC), an interest group established to promote trade and investment by facilitating engagement between Government and the private sector throughout the Commonwealth.
Chief Executive Officer of CWEIC, Oliver Everett, who stated this while meeting with a group of Nigerian businessmen at the Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja, said Governor Ambode would be in office
alongside Rt. Hon Jeffrey Mountevans, the Lord Mayor of the City of London as co-Vice President of the Council for the next one year, subject to renewal for
another year.
Everett, who was in Nigeria to talk to
small business owners on investment
opportunities in Commonwealth nations, especially in Europe, said the appointment of Governor Ambode was a major pointer to the fact that Nigeria and indeed Lagos is open for real and serious investment.
The meeting with a select group of small business owners was facilitated by the Office of the Special Adviser on Oversees
Affairs and Investment, otherwise
known as Lagos Global, a one stop shop created by Governor Ambode's
administration to facilitate investment and enhance ease of doing business in the State.
While tutoring small scale business
owners on investment opportunities in Europe, Everett advised them, for instance, to avoid production of sugary drinks, saying a lot of people in Europe were now avoiding such drinks because of obesity, and would rather prefer natural drinks.
