The Lagos State Office of Public-Private Partnerships (OPPP) has executed a two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institution of Public-Private Partnerships Hong Kong (IPPP HK). The MoU was signed at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on the margins of the 19th Asian Financial Forum, held on 26–27 January 2026 and convened by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).

The MoU establishes a structured platform for institutional cooperation between Lagos State and stakeholders within the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, with a focus on advancing PPP initiatives in areas of shared interest. It is intended to strengthen technical collaboration, facilitate knowledge exchange, and support the delivery of Lagos State’s THEMES+ agenda through improved access to global best practice, networks, and investment-aligned partnerships.

OPPP participated in the Forum as part of a wider United States delegation led by the Silicon Valley Prop Tech Association and its Chairperson, Ms Alina Aeby. Engagements across the Forum spanned technology, real estate, and large-scale infrastructure, providing an opportunity to deepen strategic relationships, benchmark emerging models, and explore new pathways for partnership and investment alignment.

The OPPP delegation was led by the Special Adviser, Mrs. Bukola Odoe. The IPPP HK delegation was led by its Chairman, Mr Francis Sootoo. HKTDC was represented at the signing ceremony by Mr Lawrence Chiu.
