British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has revealed that the Lagos State Government can explore the export credit finance to the tune of £750 million (pounds) which the UK government has in place for considerable development finance.
May disclosed this at a meeting with the Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode in Lagos on Wednesday.
The British PM who said she was happy to be in Nigeria and Lagos in particular to see the thriving business community also spoke on the important role that a stable government in Lagos plays in giving extra confidence to investors in the state.
