Lagos committed to transformation of Lekki corridor, industrial hubs – Sanwo-Olu
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, says his administration is committed to the rapid transformation of the Lekki corridor and other industrial hubs in the State.
The governor made the statement while performing the groundbreaking ceremony of the $250m Kasi Cloud Data Centre at Leisure Land by Theme Park Site along Maiyegun- Lekki Beach Road, Lekki Peninsula II on Tuesday.
According to him, his government is committed to using education and technology as a tool to create a 21st Century Lagos that the people of the State dream of and talk about.
The Kasi Data Center, a four-hectares of land, will provide an interconnection and data center platform for Nigeria to support digital ecosystems and drive internet access to over 200 million people.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said the data center will create jobs, attract additional investment and deliver high-speed internet access that will be transformational for emerging and existing digital ecosystems.
“On our part as a state government, we are deeply committed to the rapid transformation of the Lekki corridor, as well as every other industrial hub in the State. We are demonstrating this commitment through policies and interventions designed to improve the business environment, to reform critical government institutions and systems and to unlock new levels of innovative thinking among our people, especially our youth.
“We realise that the people of Lagos are the most formidable assets that we have. They are the ones who will write the narrative of this megacity now and into the future. We must educate and upskill them, to prepare them for the rapidly evolving working environment of the 21st century. We want to use education and technology as a tool to be able to create a 21st Century Lagos that we all dream and talk about,” Sanwo-Olu said.
the governor, commending Kasi Cloud Limited for building the data center in Lagos, said what KASI is doing is a testament to the capacity and capability of Nigerians to dream world-class dreams and convert those dreams into reality.
