Lagos Beyond 2015:
BOLD IDEAS,
NEW OPPORTUNITIES
February 04, 2015
There are 3 fundamental questions to answer
Why am I in this race?
What are my ideas?
Who am I?
1
Why am I in this race?
I am in this race because ……..
 I believe I can make a significant difference in the need to achieve a Lagos
that is sustainably competitive and liveable
 Lagos has lost ground when compared with other mega cities
- The improvements in Lagos over the past decade-and-half could and
should have resulted in a more competitive environment for business
and more humane society for the people of our State – residents,
indigenes and visitors
 The developments ahead are likely to disadvantage Lagos and
responding to them requires a clear understanding of making private
effort work effectively for the community
 The future can’t be about celebrating progress which doesn’t match what
our comparators achieved – Lagos is not and cannot be about local
comparisons. It is an international Mega City and must be compared with
others
 It can’t be about continuity, its all about leapfrogging change on
limited resources!!

The importance of Lagos as a megacity
needs to shift from being all about
population to being about
competitiveness
is deservingly a hotspot city based on population, …ranks low in competitiveness
We performLagos
poorly
on competitiveness and quality of life indices

The State is still struggling to meet the transportation needs
of a true global mega-city
Overview
 Transport is predominantly road based, leading to congestion
 Water transportation for intra-state carriage of goods and people is under-utilized
 Lagos is one of the two mega cities in the world without rail based mass transit, the
other being Karachi in Pakistan
 The rail track right of way is currently occupied by traders, markets and even
residences
Current
Transport
Demand
 Demand for transport services is growing faster than economic growth in Lagos
Metropolitan Areas (LMA)
 17.5 million Lagos residents create demand for about 10.5 million trips daily on all
motorised modes
 Number of passenger trips carried by BRT grew to 62 million passenger trips in
2010 from 12.5million passenger trips in 20082
 Total number of buses operating in LMA is estimated to be about 83,000
 Water Transportation: 117 Vessels operated by 47 providers, number of
passengers moved from 1.5 million monthly to 1.8 million between June and
October 2013

The demand for additional housing in Lagos is growing rapidly




Lagos state has a housing deficit in excess of 2 million units2
LSDPC has provided about 20,000 housing units since 19722
Ministry of housing has only added about 5,000 housing units in Lagos since
19992
SOURCE: Oxford Economics: Global cities 2030 forecast services1 , Lagos State Development Plan 2012-20252
Businesses, such as yours,
are affected directly by
several issues in Lagos




Porous Security - of life, property and investment
Inadequate infrastructure - Power & Transportation: Roads, Water, Rail
Rising cost of doing business in Lagos
- Multiple taxes
- Illegal fees and levies
- Regulation as taxation
Lack of skilled manpower - even with high unemployment levels
Emerging National
Reforms may be to the
disadvantage of Lagos
For example - The reforms which will lead to the
expansion and modernisation of national Rail network
Consequences
 Individuals Move to surrounding states with lower cost of housing and living
and commute to Lagos i.e. loss of income taxes and spending
 Businesses can move to lower cost areas (or closer to raw materials) and
send goods by rail to Lagos i.e. loss of competitive advantage as economic
and business hub
 Lagos cannot afford to take businesses or residents for granted!
Headwinds arising from current decline in oil prices are pointers to a tougher 2015
& 2016 for Lagos State
Declining Crude Oil Prices
Implications for Lagos


Oil
Shock

-
Drop in Federal Allocation
Decline in IGR
Business slow down may affect IGR
negatively
Declining taxable persons, as
companies downsize
Exchange rate depreciation
Make dollar denominated debt - more
expensive
Importation - more expensive, thus
fewer imports
higher costs for businesses importing
raw materials
The pass through effect will cause a
rise in inflation rate
Historical antecedent (2009 Oil shock)- LASG actual IGR performance against expected declined to
76.9% (2009) from 81.8%(2008) and fell further to 75.7(2010) 2

What we need is to transform Our Lagos
into a specialised economy so as to
develop new competencies and
competitive advantage
What will I do?
BOLD IDEAS
NEW OPPORTUNITIES
We know that for us to succeed, we need a clear vision, a powerful
message and ground-breaking policies

We aim for a Lagos that embraces its position as a global mega-city state
populated by well-educated, skilled, healthy people living in secure and
prosperous environment

We strive for a Lagos that enables ‘Lagosians’ to achieve their personal,
entrepreneurial and professional aspirations, regardless of origin, socioeconomic background and gender

We will work towards a Lagos that confirms its place as a regional hub for
financial and professional services and commercial enterprise through
genuinely business-friendly reforms and initiatives

Our government will be inclusive and will foster partnerships with the private
sector, other tiers of government, non-governmental interest and community
groups to improve access and delivery of economic goods and services

The JayKay policy philosophy is based on aspiration and prosperity with clear
roles and responsibilities for residents and the government

 the private sector will be the primary
vehicle for delivery of services and
provision of facilities
 In exceptional cases, provision and/or
delivery will be through government
agencies
 Regulate, monitor and evaluate the quality
of services and facilities provided
because the state government helps them to:

 Reduce the cost of land and registration title ( the cost and time of government
bureaucracy)
 Review and reform property registration and title process
We believe that as the economy expands, the revenue base will also broaden
STRATEGY
Cost Recovery
Public-Private
Partnerships
Greater Efficiency
of tax
Capital Markets
PLANNED ACTION
 Constructive engagement with the Federal government on cost recovery
 Creatively design projects within our programme to ensure they are viable and attractive to the
private Sector
 Encourage schemes with matching contributions from the Federal Government of Nigeria
 Seek resources in form of grants from donor agencies and international funding sources –
World Bank Grants, Non-Multilateral Agency grants etc.
 Streamline the heads and points of taxation so as to encourage more voluntary compliance
 Invest in technology to widen tax coverage and improve efficiency to reduce leakages
 Use the instrumentality of financial markets and expert advice to restructure existing debts
 Where appropriate, continue to use capital market resources and the securitisation of cash flow
from assets for development
Co financing
 Initiatives that mean citizens will pay even minimal contributions to services such as health
(micro-insurance) in the medium term
Reduce Leakages
 We believe there are significant leakages in the system and the savings from reducing these
leakages will fund some of our projects
Prioritise projects
 Certain projects will be prioritised ahead of others, based on expected impact
