Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos State has described Tuesday’s visit of French President Emmanuel Macron as “a new dawn” in the state.
Ambode noted this at the Afrika Shrine in Ikeja, during an event tagged “Celebrate African Culture” to welcome Macron to the state.
“President Macron’s visit is expected to signal the dawn of a new collaboration between France and Lagos State in the quest to make the state the culture and entertainment capital of Africa,” Ambode said.
“The event is also about celebrating African culture which was a positive step for France as it sought to rebuild its relationship with Africa.”
