Lagos – Lagos State government has partnered with the Pro-Poor Growth and Promotion of Employment in Nigeria (SEDIN) programme of the German Development Agency (GIZ) to improve ease of doing business in the state.
Markus Wauschkuhn, Head of Programme, GIZ-SEDIN, while speaking at a validation workshop of the Report on Barometer of the Investment Climate in Lagos State, said that programme is committed to improving the employment situation of Nigeria through the support of SMEs.
