David Lammy @DavidLammy It was a pleasure to meet with Lagos State Governor @JideSanwoOlu. Lagos is the business and cultural heartland of Nigeria and a gateway for UK trade and investment. The potential for future growth is enormous. I look forward to working with our Nigerian partners to deliver it.
