The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, announced that he will be visiting Lagos in Nigeria, Accra in Ghana, and Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa and becomes the first ever Mayor of London to lead a trade delegation to Africa.
He announced the news at award-winning Nigerian restaurant The Flygerians, which is based in the Peckham Palms, as he spoke with business owners of African descent about the importance of London’s African community and his ambitions for the trade mission.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I’m delighted to announce that I will be visiting Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa to bang the drum for further investment in London and strengthen the cultural ties we have with each country.
“With growing populations, rapidly advancing technology and an appetite for boosting our trading relationships, this trade mission will be a fantastic opportunity to drive further investment here in London and further deepen our partnerships.
“Londoners of African heritage have played, and continue to play, a huge role in making London the greatest city in the world. It was great to be at the Flygerians today speaking with business owners and seeing first hand the impact they make here in the capital, building a better London for everyone.”
