The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has congratulated the government and the people on the discovery of oil in Badagry.
In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, the party said the long wait to join the league of oil producers in Nigeria has become a reality.
It reads: “It is good news to have Lagos, the land of civilisation, join the club of oil producing states.
“ Lagos economy has been on the rise since 1999, competing effectively with many countries in Africa, and with the advent of oil fields in Lagos, we have no doubt that it will grow far bigger than these countries in few years to come.
“This monumental achievement in Lagos has left a huge lesson that God has not finished with Nigeria.”
