Lagos to Take on London, New York, and Singapore in Finance
It is a very grand playbook: the Central Bank of Nigeria will establish the Nigerian International Financial Centre (NIFC) in the next 12 months. The goal is to make Lagos to complement London, New York, and Singapore as a financial hub, and seed Infracorp plc, the N15 Trillion infrastructure fund which would be launched in October.
And the big one: “the governor said the new financial hub would also complement initiatives on the Nigerian Commodity exchange and the National Theatre creative hubs for Nigerian youths as well as the E-naira project which will also debut in October.”
