The United States Government has said its new $537million (approx N223,257,750,000.00) in Lagos will be its largest consulate in the world when completed in 2027.

Ambassador Mary Leonard and Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated this at the Eko Atlantic City in Lagos during the ongoing groundbreaking ceremony for the consulate.

The 10-storey consular complex will, according to Ambassador Leonard, pump about $90milion into the Lagos and Nigerian economy.
