Lagos Signs Four PPP Deals to Boost Digital Services, Healthcare, Transport

The Lagos State Government is forging ahead with its infrastructure and service delivery agenda by signing four significant Public-Private Partnership (PPP) concession agreements. These pacts span critical sectors including healthcare, transportation, digital governance, and outdoor advertising, signaling a strong push for private sector involvement.

A key initiative under these agreements is the development of MyLagosApp, a unified digital platform designed to streamline access to government services for residents and visitors. LA Crème Nigeria Limited, with support from MTN Nigeria, will undertake a 10-year concession to design, finance, build, operate, and transfer the app. This platform aims to offer seamless access to services like payments, traffic updates, emergency support, and tourism information via a mobile application.

Another major project is a 20-year concession agreement with Anchor Advisory Partners to fully automate the Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA). This move is expected to enhance efficiency and accessibility in vehicle-related services.

Government is at its best when it is practical – when policy leaves the boardroom and shows up in the hospital ward, at the licensing office, on the commuter’s phone and along the streets of our city. That is what today is about.

Mrs. Bukola Odoe, the Special Adviser on Public-Private Partnerships, highlighted the strategic importance of these partnerships, stating they translate government policy into tangible improvements for Lagosians. "Government is at its best when it is practical – when policy leaves the boardroom and shows up in the hospital ward, at the licensing office, on the commuter’s phone and along the streets of our city," she remarked.

Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, echoed this sentiment, commending the collaborative effort and emphasizing the state's commitment to improving public service delivery. Residents can anticipate experiencing the benefits of these advancements as implementation progresses across the various sectors.
