Earlier this month, our Managing Consultant, Arinze Oduah, shared a presentation on the ‘Strategic Geographic Positioning of Lagos as Trade Hub’ at the CIPS - The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply Nigeria Monthly Education Seminar.

Senior officials of the Lagos State Government at cabinet level were present, as well as the Director General of the Lagos State Bureau of Public Procurement. The CIPS UK CEO, Ben Farrell MBE, and the CIPS Director for the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, Sam Achampong, were also in attendance.

Lagos has the potential to become an important global trade hub, but this requires a significant investment in strengthening the supply chain and trade enablement infrastructure.
