The Bonds Law provides for a CDSA to be created by the Lagos State Government into which a minimum of 15% of the State‟s IGR will be deposited on a monthly basis. The Bonds Law further stipulates that funds accumulated within the CDSA shall be utilised to:

(i) pay interest and principal on the State‟s debt obligations; and

The Management of the CDSA is the sole responsibility of independent Joint Trustees to be appointed by the State. The Joint Trustees invest all sums in the CDSA in Federal Government of Nigeria Bonds (and other instruments) as provided by the Bonds Law.

7. Bondholder’s Protection

The State has appointed First Trustees Limited, UBA Trustees Limited, Union Trustees Limited and Skye Trustees Limited to act as Trustees for the Bondholders. The relationship between the State and the Trustees is governed by a Trustee Deed, inter alia, specifying the powers, authorities and obligations of the Trustees and the State. The Bondholder(s) shall, without further act or deed, be deemed to have irrevocably given their consent to the Trustees or any of their agents or authorized officials to do all such acts, deeds, matters and things in respect of or relating to the Bonds as the Trustees may in their absolute discretion deem necessary or require to be done in the interest of the Bondholder(s). Any payment made by the State to the Trustees on behalf of the Bondholder(s) shall discharge the State pro tanto to the Bondholder(s).

9.2. Oversubscription

In the event that the number of bidders at the highest acceptable yield exceeds the amount of Bonds available at that yield per tranche, the State may either increase the amount available up to 15% of the size of that particular tranche so that a minimum number of Bonds can be issued on a pro-rata basis to each successful bidder at that yield, or decrease the amount available so that no allocation of Bonds is made at that yield; provided however that where the State increases the amount available this will be subject to 15% of the oversubscription (or such amounts as permitted by the SEC).

8. TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The Bonds issued under the Programme are exempt from taxation in Nigeria. As such, all payments made to Bondholders shall be free and clear of Withholding, State and Federal Income and Capital Gains Taxes with no deductions whatsoever being made at source. In addition, proceeds from the disposal of Bonds are exempt from taxation.

The taxation landscape in Nigeria regarding debt securities, and more particularly as it relates to Bonds, changed significantly following an announcement on March 16, 2010 (by the then Acting President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan). The announcement communicated the approval of a waiver of taxes on all categories of bonds and short term Federal Government securities; including taxes prescribed pursuant to the Companies Income Tax Act, Personal Income Tax Act, Value Added Tax Act and the Capital Gains Tax Act, with the aim of eliminating respective taxes payable on such investments. The details of the tax exemptions – valid for a period of ten (10) years from December 9, 2011 – are contained in the Companies Income Tax (Exemption of Bonds and Short Term Government Securities) Order 2011 and the Value Added Tax (Exemption of Proceeds of the Disposal of Government and Corporate Securities) Order 2011. This summary of the tax regime has been provided for information purposes only. A prospective investor who is in any doubt as to his/her tax position or who is subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than in Nigeria should consult his/her own professional advisers without delay as to the consequences of an investment in the Bonds in view of his/her own circumstances. Neither the Issuer, the Issuing Houses or the Issuer‟s tax advisers shall be liable to any subscriber in any manner whatsoever for placing reliance upon the contents of this section.

9. LAGOS STATE

The information in this section has been extracted from documents and publications that are publicly available and have previously been

released by either the Lagos State Ministry of Information; other public and private organizations including the CBN, the Economic

Intelligence Unit, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics; or other financial and economic

publications. Neither the Issuer not its advisers are able to ascertain the omission of any facts, and whether such omission would render

any extracted information inaccurate or misleading.

9.1. OVERVIEW OF LAGOS STATE

History Lagos State was created on May 27, 1967 under the State (Creation and Transitional Provisions) Decree No. 14 (1967) which restructured Nigeria‟s Federation into 12 (twelve) States. Prior to this, Lagos Municipality had been administered by the Federal Government with the Federal Ministry of Lagos Affairs being the regional authority; while the Lagos City Council governed the City of Lagos. The metropolitan areas (Colony Province) of Ikeja, Agege, Mushin, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry were administered by the Western Region. The State took off as an administrative entity on 11 April 1968 with Lagos Island serving the dual roles of being the State and Federal Capitals. However, in 1976, Lagos Island ceased to be the capital of the State; the capital having been moved to Ikeja. The seat of the Federal Government was relocated to Abuja on December 12, 1991 and Lagos also ceased to be Nigeria‟s political capital. Lagos nevertheless remains the nation‟s economic and commercial capital. Location

The State is located in the South-Western part of Nigeria along the narrow coastal plain of the Bight of Benin. It lies between Longitude 20° 42‟E and 3° 22‟E and between Latitude 6° 22‟ N and 6° 42‟ N. It is bound in the North and East by Ogun State of Nigeria, in the West by the Republic of Benin and stretches over 180 km along the Guinea Coast of the Bight of Benin on the Atlantic Ocean. The State comprises five administrative divisions of Lagos (Eko), Ikeja, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry and 20 Local Government Areas. Geographically, Lagos State covers an area of 358,861 hectares or 3,577 square kilometres, making it geographically the smallest state in Nigeria. Population Lagos State is geographically the smallest state in Nigeria covering an area of 356,861 hectares, with 21% of this area being wetlands. According to the recent census conducted by the National Population Commission (“NPC”), the State has a population of over 18 Million out of a national estimate of 170 million. The United Nations estimates that at its present growth rate, Lagos State will be the third largest mega city in the world by 2015 after Tokyo in Japan and Bombay in India. The rate of population growth is about 600,000 per annum with a population density of about 4,193 persons per sq. km. In the built-up areas of the Lagos metropolis, the average density is over 20,000 persons per square km. Current demographic trend analysis reveals that the State population growth rate of 8% has resulted in its capturing of 36.8% of Nigeria‟s urban population (World Bank, 1996) estimated at 49.8 million people of the nation‟s 170 million population. The implication is that despite a country population growth of is 4 - 5% and global 2%, the State‟s population is growing ten times faster than New York and Los Angeles with grave implications for urban sustainability. The Structure of Government Executive The affairs of the State are overseen by the Governor who is its chief executive. The Governor is elected to a four-year term of office renewable only for another four year term. He is vested with executive powers, which subject to the provisions of the Constitution and of any law made by the House of Assembly, may be exercised directly or through the Deputy Governor and Commissioners or Advisers. The Governor is empowered to appoint Commissioners and Advisers and to assign responsibilities to them, including the administration of any

9. LAGOS STATE

31

department of Government. An appointment to the office of Commissioner is deemed to have been made where no return has been received from the House of Assembly within (21) twenty-one working days of the House‟s receipt of the nomination of such a Commissioner from the Governor. Legislature

The legislative powers of a state are vested in a unicameral legislative body called the House of Assembly. The current House of Assembly, constituted after the elections on April 21, 2007, has 40 members. A state House of Assembly is required by the Constitution to consist of not less than 24 twenty-four and not more than 40 forty members who serve 4 four-year terms. The Head of the House of Assembly is called the Speaker, assisted by a Deputy Speaker, both of whom are elected by the members of the House from amongst themselves. The House is made up of representatives from all the local governments within the state and subject to the provisions of the Constitution, exercises identical functions at the state level with those of the National Assembly at the federal level. Judiciary The Chief Law Officer of the State is the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of the State. In accordance with the Constitution, judicial authority is vested mainly in the following courts: the State High Court, Sharia Court of Appeal of the State and Customary Court of Appeal of the State and such other courts as may be authorised by law to exercise jurisdiction at first instance or on appeal on matters with respect to which a House of Assembly may make laws. Presently, the state judiciary is made up of the State High Courts, the Magistrate Courts and the Customary Courts. Local Government

There are presently 20 (twenty) local government councils and 37 local council development areas in Lagos State. Each local government area is administered under a local government council headed by a Chairman, who is the chief executive of the local government council and other elected members. The functions of local governments include the consideration and making of recommendations to the State on economic development, administrative and urban planning matters. Specific matters include collection of rates, radio and television licenses, establishment and maintenance of cemeteries and homes for the destitute or infirm, naming of roads and streets, numbering of houses and such other functions as may be conferred on a local government council from time to time by the State House of Assembly. Judicial Administration The Lagos State Judiciary is the oldest Judiciary in Nigeria, having been in existence since the period of the Cession of Lagos to the British Government when it was established and known as the Colony Province Judiciary. The Magistrates‟ Court was the first Court to be established. Thereafter, the High Court which was called the Supreme Court although its jurisdiction was limited to Lagos. On attainment of self-government, the Federal Territory of Lagos inherited the two systems of Courts - the Magistrates' Courts and the Supreme Court. Following the creation of the Federal Supreme Court, the Lagos Supreme Court became the High Court of the Federal Territory, Lagos. Upon the creation of Lagos State, the High Court and the Magistrate Court of the Federal Territory were merged with the High Court and Magistrate Court of the former Western Region then at Ikeja. This became the Lagos State Judiciary. There are four (4) Judicial Divisions in Lagos State - namely Ikeja, Lagos, Epe and Ikorodu Judicial Divisions - and seven (7) Magisterial Districts. The Magisterial Districts are Ikeja, Lagos Island, Yaba, Apapa, Ikorodu, Badagry and Epe. The Ikeja Judicial Division serves as the headquarters of the Lagos State Judiciary. 9.2. ECONOMIC REVIEW

The State‟s economy grew by a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 29.4% between 2003 and 2007. Growth was mainly due to increased domestic activity. Lagos State is the largest urban agglomeration in Africa with current population estimates at over 17 million. This is coupled with the high concentration of industrial and commercial activities in the State as demonstrated by the following indices:

9.5. MEDIUM TERM STRATEGY OF THE STATE

Lagos State, being the hub of the nation‟s industrial and commercial activities, continues to witness a massive influx of people from other parts of the country on an annual basis. This has led to a surge in its population with the attendant strain on its social and physical infrastructure, the rapid emergence of slums, conurbations and consequently, severe environmental degradation. The effect of this growth is also felt in neighbouring States of Ogun and Oyo.

In order to combat these challenges and boost economic development, the Lagos State Government has developed a Medium-Term Strategy (“MTS”) that seeks to increase investment in socio-economic infrastructure that will achieve significant growth and sustainable urban renewal and development of the State through collaboration with stakeholders.

The implementation of the 10-point agenda, which encapsulates the MTS, is intended to address the issues of accelerated economic growth and sustainable urban development. The 10 point agenda focuses on the following areas;

1. Roads 6. Food Security

2. Transportation 7. Employment

3. Health 8. Revenue Enhancement

4. Education 9. Power/Water Supply

5. Environment /Physical Planning 10. Shelter

9.6. FINANCES OF LAGOS STATE

The dynamic nature of Lagos State‟s finances is demonstrated by the growth in the state‟s Internally Generated Revenue (“IGR”) and the increase in budgetary provisions/executions, particularly the capital sector programmes over the years.

Between 2003 and 2011 there was an increase of over 86% in the IGR of the Lagos State Government. The State‟s annual budget has grown significantly over the same period. Current efforts of the State Government, particularly in the execution of the 10-point Agenda embedded in the Capital Expenditure Programme indicate a geometrical progression in the overall growth of the Lagos State Economy. The State‟s income profile in 2011 indicates that Taxes were the main source of IGR at 84%, with fines and fees contributing 6.43%. Infrastructure renewal and respective public-private sector partnerships are creating and providing a more conducive living environment for Lagosians, prompting greater tax responsibility amongst residents in the state.

12. RISK FACTORS & MITIGANTS

An investment in Bonds, as with any other investment, involves a high degree of risk. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors together with all of the other information included in this Shelf Prospectus, and any Pricing Supplement/SSP prior to purchasing the Bonds. The risks below are not the only risks facing the State. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the State. Any of the following risks could result in a material adverse effect on the State‟s financial condition, results of operations and ability to service debt, including the Bonds. These risks may also have a material adverse effect on the revenue, costs and other estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the financial model shown in this Prospectus, causing actual operating results to be materially lower than those reflected in the financial model.

1. COUNTRY RISK

i. Political Risk Nigeria has experienced periods of political instability since its independence in 1960. After 16 years of military rule, a democratic government was reinstated in 1999. Since then, significant progress has been made to strengthen the policy environment, economy and tackle corruption, but Nigeria‟s track record under democracy is short and challenges remain. The transition of power from President Obasanjo, who had served since 1999, to late President Umar Musa Yar‟Adua marked the first time in Nigeria‟s history that power has been handed democratically from one elected government to another. The elections which ushered the present Goodluck Jonathan administration were conducted on April 11, 2011. The concern regarding the Federal Government‟s ability to conduct free and fair elections was demonstrated by the political crises which ensued in some states in Nigeria after the elections which resulted in loss of lives and property. The regional instability and unrest most notably in the Niger Delta (if recurrent), may have adverse effect on public safety and productivity. In addition, the recent developments relating to the partial removal of government subsidy on petroleum products could create uncertainty, thereby leading to a drop in foreign direct and local investment infrastructure. Nigeria‟s political and economic environment is also affected by low levels of development and per capita income, which could lead to high levels of crime and unemployment. Furthermore, the series of bomb blasts in the Northern parts of the country have the potential of destabilising the country if unmanaged. Mitigating Factor: Nigeria has experienced a decade of un-interrupted democratic rule for the first time since its independence in 1960. The transition to a new government, following the death of President Umar Musa Yar‟Adua further demonstrated that the Nigerian political atmosphere is maturing. The Nigerian political and judicial institutions continue to be strengthened in recognition that democratic governance positively impacts development, and there is a greater will to ensure the participation of the electorate in decision making through the conduct of free and fair elections. There is the expectation that this trend will continue although there can be no assurances that the political environment will remain stable. The Federal Government has also increased its security presence in the affected Northern areas and across the nation. The Government has also promised to stem the growing insecurity in the country and ensure the protection of lives and property.

ii. Economic Risk The Nigerian economy was impacted by the global recession which created a significant downturn in the capital markets as well as a liquidity squeeze, creating a challenging operating environment. A prolonged recession put further constraints on business spending, investments and lending which in turn reduced activities in the private sector, which has had an impact on the State‟s tax revenues.

12. RISK FACTORS & MITIGANTS

51

The Nigerian economy is largely dependent on oil production and is directly affected by fluctuations in the global prices of oil. According to the World Bank, oil accounts for circa 17.0% of Nigeria‟s GDP, over 95.5% of its export earnings and approximately 81.0%. of its budgetary earnings.

Mitigating Factor: The global financial crisis has slowed down significantly. Economies are beginning to emerge from recession and are witnessing improved performance. In Nigeria, the Jonathan administration remains committed to the wide-ranging reforms aimed at diversifying the economy and increasing macro-economic stability. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) continues to introduce reforms aimed at stimulating and stabilising the economy and creating a secure and healthy platform for growth.

iii. Specific risk- Risk of civil unrest, sectarian violence and armed conflict. Nigeria is increasingly experiencing pockets of violence. There were series of bomb blasts in Jos, Abuja and Yenagoa in late 2010. In some parts of the North particularly in Borno and Bauchi states, there have been targeted killings of government officials and attacks on state infrastructure by members of a radical Muslim sect. In addition, there continues to be sporadic attacks on oil facilities and platforms by militant groups in the Niger Delta despite the existence of a ceasefire. Unless resolved by the Government, these conflicts have the potential to destabilise the country. Mitigating Factor: The Government continues to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement agencies to prevent attacks. In addition, the Government has indicated a strong commitment to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators of such acts.

2. RISKS RELATING TO THE BONDS

a. The Bonds may not be suitable for all investors

Each potential investor in the Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

(i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the bonds, the merits

and risks of investing in the Bonds and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Shelf Prospectus or applicable Pricing Supplement/SSP;

(ii) have knowledge ,and access to appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular

financial situation an investment in the Bonds and the impact the Bonds will have on its overall investment portfolio;

(iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all the risks of an investment in the Bonds,

including Bonds with principal and interest payable in one or more currencies, or where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the investor‟s home currency;

(iv) understand thoroughly the terms of the Bonds and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant

indices and financial markets; and

(v) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

Some Bonds are complex financial instruments and sophisticated institutional investors generally purchase complex instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in Bonds which are complex financial instruments, unless there is the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Bonds will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Bonds and the impact that this investment will have on the potential investor‟s overall investment portfolio.

12. RISK FACTORS & MITIGANTS

52

Structural Risks a) The market price of the Bonds may be volatile

The market price of the Bonds could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to actual or anticipated variations in the Issuer‟s operating results, adverse business developments, changes in the regulatory environment in which the Company operates, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and the actual or expected sale of a large number of Bonds. Each investor needs to assess the market for the right time to trade its Bonds.

b) Bonds may be subject to optional redemption by the Issuer

An optional redemption feature in the Bonds may negatively affect their market value. During any period when the Issuer may elect to redeem Bonds, the market value of those Bonds generally will not rise substantially above the price at which it can be redeemed. This also may be true prior to any redemption period. The Issuer may be expected to redeem Bonds when its cost of borrowing is lower than the interest rate on the Bonds. At those times, an investor generally would not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Bonds being redeemed and may only be able to do so at a lower rate.

c) Referencing to an index may subject the Bonds to additional risk

The Issuer may issue Bonds with Principal or Interest determined by reference to an index (or formula), to changes in the prices of the securities or commodities or other relevant factors.

Potential investors should be aware that: they may receive no interest; they may lose all or a substantial portion of their principal; a relevant factor may be subject to significant fluctuations that may not correlate with changes in interest

rates or other indices; and timing of changes in a relevant factor may affect the actual yield to investors, even if the actual level is

consistent with their expectations; i.e., in general, the earlier the change in the Relevant Factor, the greater the effect on yield.

d) Changes in interest rates may affect the price of the Bonds

Where securities such as Bonds are offered with a fixed rate of interest, such securities are subject to price risk; as such securities may vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates. That is, where interest rates rise, prices of fixed rate securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. Accordingly, the extent of the fall or rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level of the prevailing interest rates. Increased interest rates which frequently accompany inflation and/or a growing economy are also likely to have a negative effect on the price of the Bonds.

b. Environmental Risks Natural disasters could occur and negatively impact the expected revenue streams or destroy some of the projects under construction. This will decrease the projected cash flows which the State expects to generate. There may also be negative environmental impacts of respective projects proposed by the Lagos State Government.

Mitigating Factor: Environmental impact analyses for prospective projects will be undertaken, negative impacts identified, and the measures for managing such impact proposed and applied. Furthermore, any impact on projected revenues is mitigated by the fact that the State will service its obligations under the Bond from the total IGR generated and not on project specific basis.

c. Regulatory Environment

The Statutory and Regulatory environment will change and the policies that have created an enabling environment for the issuance of the Bonds will be amended.

12. RISK FACTORS & MITIGANTS

53

Mitigating Factor: The Federal Government and the respective regulators are committed to creating and sustaining an investment-friendly environment governed by stable policies.

d. Credit Risk The credit risk of any bond is that the issuer will default in its obligations and consequently, neither the semi-annual interest payments nor the re-payment of the principal at maturity will occur. Mitigating Factor: The track record of Lagos State in fulfilling obligations created through a Bond issuance is commendable, with the State having previously retired two bonds without default. Furthermore, the State has met all obligations to date under the two bond issuances of the N275 Billion Debt Issuance Programme as and when due. A stipulated 15% of the State‟s internally generated revenue which is paid into the CDSA to service all its debt obligations can also be increased by the State Assembly on the application of the State Executive Council, if required.

e. Specific Risk-Internally Generated Revenues The State may rely on its Internally Generated Revenues to meet coupon and principal re-payment obligations in respect of bond issuances. In the event that the Internally Generated Revenues does not attain the projected growth rate, this may impact the State‟s ability to fully fund the CDSA and pay accruing coupons and redeem the Bonds as and when due. Mitigating Factor: The extensive infrastructural Programme embarked upon by the State has led to higher tax compliance rates in the State, which has in turn led to a steady increase in the State‟s Internally Generated Revenues. In addition, the financial forecasts for the State are based on modest assumptions and do not also take into account certain events which could increase the revenue profile of the State.

54

13. THE N167.5 BILLION DEBT ISSUANCE PROGRAMME

By virtue of a Shelf Prospectus issued on December 24, 2008 the Lagos State Government established a Debt Issuance Programme for the issuance of Bonds, Notes and Other Securities with an aggregate value of N275 Billion Debt Issuance Programme. Pursuant to the N275 Billion Programme, the State very successfully completed the following issuances: Tranche 1 – N50 Billion Bond In February 2009, the State raised a N50 Billion 5-year Fixed Rate 13% Bond, the first in the series of issuances. The Bonds were offered by way of a Public Offer for Subscription. At the conclusion of the offer, the Bonds were 117.93% subscribed; an oversubscription of 17.93% or N8,966,760,000 (Eight Billion Nine Hundred and Sixty-Six Million Seven Hundred and Sixty Thousand Naira). The Tranche 1 Bonds are secured by an Irrevocable Standing Payment Order (ISPO) on the State‟s Statutory Allocation. The State‟s semi-annual interest obligations under the Tranche 1 Bonds are funded directly from the Sinking Fund; with accumulations also being made in the Sinking Fund towards the retirement of the Bond in 2014. As at the date of this Shelf Prospectus, the State had serviced four (4) interest payments on the due dates of February 9 and August 9 promptly. Tranche 2 – N57.5 Billion Bond The Lagos State Government was the first sub-national (state government) within Nigeria to undertake a Bond Issuance by way of a Book Build. In April 2010 when the Book Build was undertaken, the State recorded bids with an aggregate value of N174,350,000,000 (One Hundred and Seventy-Four Billion Three Hundred and Fifty Million Naira) in respect of a proposed N50 Billion Bond at bid closure. At the conclusion of the Book Build, Lagos State issued a N57.5 Billion 7-year Fixed Rate 10% Bond (the N57.5 Billion included 15% of the initial value proposed for issue, in accordance with the prevailing SEC regulations) An alternative Security Trust Structure was evolved by the State in respect of the Tranche 2 issuance. Given the robust revenue profile of the State – with IGR representing circa 70% of total revenues – the approval of SEC was sought and obtained for the waiver of the issuance of an ISPO. Consequently, the State‟s interest obligations under Tranche 2 are serviced from the Sinking Fund; with the CDSA providing a guarantee to bondholders as regards all obligations under the issuance. Update on the Use of Proceeds – Tranches 1 and 2 Bond Issuances

The following provide a summary of the projects that have been executed from the proceeds of the N107.5 Billion raised from the Nigerian Capital Market by the State:

Overview General The Federal Republic of Nigeria occupies 923,768 square kilometres of West Africa, bordering the Republic of Benin to the west, Chad and Cameroon to the east, Niger to the north and the Gulf of Guinea to the south. Nigeria has a population of approximately 159 million. Nigeria consists of 36 states and the federal capital territory (“FCT”) of Abuja, which is located in central Nigeria. Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria, has a population of approximately 17 million. Nigeria achieved full independence from the United Kingdom on October 1, 1960 and became a federal republic in 1963. In 1999, following many years of military rule, a new constitution was adopted, and a peaceful transition to civilian government was completed under the leadership of President Olusegun Obasanjo, the first democratically elected civilian since the end of the last democratic rule from 1979 to 1983. Since 1999, the FGN has attempted to reconstruct Nigeria‟s political institutions, improve its international image, reform the economy, manage its oil wealth in a more sustainable way and diversify the economy beyond the oil industry. Presidential elections were held in 2007 and resulted in the election of late President Umaru Musa Yar‟Adua. Following the death of President Umaru Musa Yar‟Adua, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was sworn in as President, in accordance with the Constitution, on May 6, 2010. The Peoples Democratic Party (“PDP”) is the ruling party in Nigeria and has been in power since 1999. General elections in Nigeria were held in April 2011. The National Assembly elections were held on April 9, 2011. Although there were alleged isolated cases of violence and other irregularities, it was generally reported that the elections were free, fair, peaceful and credible. The Presidential elections were held on April 16, 2011 and although the elections were reportedly conducted peacefully and credibly, prior to the formal announcement of the results, post-election violence and riots erupted in certain cities of some of the northern states of Nigeria (Kaduna, Gombe, Bauchi, Kano, Adamawa, Zaria and some parts of the Federal Capital Territory). Regardless, the Independent National Electoral Commission (“INEC”) and international observers upheld the elections as being well conducted and the INEC formally announced the incumbent President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as the winner, with over 58.89% of the total votes cast. President Goodluck secured more than 25% of the votes cast in over two thirds of the states in Nigeria and avoided the need for a run-off. The current Constitution, which was adopted in May 1999 has undergone several amendments. It provides for a President, a National Assembly and a Judiciary. The National Assembly, with two chambers, comprises a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Senate, the upper chamber, for which elections were held on April 9, 2011, is made up of members elected for a four-year term. Each Nigerian state elects three senators while the FCT elects one senator (109 seats in total). The House of Representatives, the lower chamber, for which elections were held on April 9, 2011, has 360 members who are elected in single member constituencies for four-year terms. Overview of the Nigerian Economy Nigeria has the second largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa. Overall, despite the negative effects of the global financial crisis in recent periods, Nigeria‟s economy has continued to experience significant GDP growth.

14. NIGERIA OVERVIEW

59

GDP. Real GDP grew 7.53% in the first half of 2010, 6.96% in 2009, 5.98% in 2008 and 6.45% in 2007. This growth was largely attributable to the continued growth in non-oil GDP, which grew 8.32% in 2009, 8.95% in 2008 and 9.52% in 2007. Overall GDP growth rate in 2011 was estimated by the NBS at 7.69%, marginally lower than 7.87% recorded in 2010. The FGN plans to reinforce economic growth in future periods by encouraging non-oil private sector growth, which it plans to facilitate through the implementation of its Vision 20:2020 plan. Oil prices and production. The Nigerian economy is highly impacted by oil and gas production, which accounted for 16.29% of GDP in 2009 and approximately 69.4% of total gross federally collectible revenue in 2009. Crude oil prices declined from an average of U.S.$101.15 per barrel in 2008 to U.S.$62.08 in 2009, increasing in 2010 to an average of U.S.$80.98 per barrel and in 2011 to about U.S.$106.32 per barrel. Oil production in 2009 and 2008 averaged 2.1 million barrels per day, compared to 2.5 million barrels per day in 2005. In 2010, oil production level was capped to an average of 2.47 million barrels per day and fell to approximately 2.18 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2011.

External sector. Nigeria‟s external sector, like most economies, was under pressure during the global financial crisis and this was reflected in the decline in external reserves, capital withdrawals by portfolio investors and alower trade balance. Despite the pressure, monetary policy actions and exchange rate management combined toresult in a surplus outcome in the current account balance, which represented 13.65% of GDP in 2009 compared to 15.43% in 2008. The external reserves position increased in recent years from U.S.$28.3 billion in 2005 to U.S.$53billion in 2008, before dropping to U.S.$32.3 billion as of 31 December 2010. By December 31, 2011, foreign exchange reserves amounted to U.S.$32.36 billion. Fiscal deficit. The overall fiscal deficit increased from N419.5 billion in 2008 to N1,126.7 billion in 2009. The increase in the deficit in 2009 was largely the result of the decline of crude oil prices in 2009 compared to 2008 and was also due to an increase in both recurrent and capital expenditures. In the first eleven months of 2010, the overall fiscal deficit was N1,529.3 billion, largely as a result of an increase in recurrent expenditure.

Public debt. As of December 31, 2010, Nigeria‟s total public debt was U.S.$34.6 billion (provisional). External debt was U.S.$4.8 billion (provisional) as of 31 December 2010, a decrease from U.S.$20.5 billion as of 31 December 2005, attributable to the repayment and subsequent cancellation of the Paris Club debt and the repayment of the London Club debt. Additionally, in December 2010, the FGN entered into a U.S.$899.5 million credit agreement with the Export-Import Bank of China for the purpose of funding certain infrastructure projects. Drawdowns under this facility are tied to project completion milestones and as of December 31, 2010, no amount had been drawn. Nigeria‟s domestic debt was N4.5 trillion (provisional), or U.S.$29.8 billion as of December 31, 2010, compared to N1.5 trillion, or U.S.$11.8 billion as of December 31, 2005. The increase in domestic debt reflects the significant increase in borrowings through government bonds in the domestic market.

Inflation. The annual inflation rate was 6.6% as of 31 December 2007 and rose to 15.1% as of 31 December 2008. Inflationary pressure moderated slightly in 2009 and was 17% as of 31 December 2009, reflecting an increase in demand pressure due to fuel shortages linked to the speculation that petroleum product prices would be deregulated. The year-on-year headline inflation which was 11.8% in December 2010 moderated to 10.39% by December 2011. Reforms Nigeria is in the process of adopting and implementing a number of reforms aimed at making Nigeria one of the 20 largest economies in the world by 2020. The reforms are aimed at a number of areas, primarily diversifying the economy away from dependence on oil by addressing infrastructure and related issues to create a more favourable environment for continued growth of the non-oil and gas sectors of the economy.

The FGN has adopted the first National Implementation Plan (“First NIP”) as its medium-term plan to

implement the first stage of Vision 20:2020. A summary of some of these key reform agenda include:

The First NIP has six main areas of focus:

14. NIGERIA OVERVIEW

60

Physical Infrastructure focusing on power, transport and housing;

Productive Sector focusing on the key sources of economic growth such as agriculture, oil and gas and manufacturing;

Human Capital and Social Development focusing on the social sectors of the economy, namely; education, health, labour, employment and productivity;

Building a knowledge-based economy focusing on building a knowledgeable workforce and ensuring widespread access to Information, Internet and Communication Technology;

Governance and General Administration focusing on election reform and combating corruption; and Regional Geopolitical Zone Development focusing on fostering accelerated, sustainable social and economic development in a competitive and friendly manner.

Oil and gas sector. The Government is currently reforming the petroleum industry and a general overhaul of the oil and gas sector is expected. The Petroleum Industry Bill (“PIB”), a major legislative proposal that would represent the most comprehensive overhaul of the structure of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria since commercial oil production began in the 1960s, is currently being considered by the National Assembly. Other significant reforms, including the Nigerian Content Act 2010, have recently been enacted. Power sector. In August 2010, the Government launched the “Roadmap for Power Sector Reform” which seeks, among other objectives, to remove obstacles to private sector investment in the power sector, permit the privatisation of the generation and distribution companies as well as facilitate the construction of new transmission networks and reform the fuel-to-power sector. The Government estimates that in order to meet the target of 40,000 mega watts by 2020, a total investment of U.S.$10 billion per annum will be needed throughout the whole power sector over the next 10 years, most of which it aims to achieve by incentivising the private sector to make such investments. Banking. The global financial crisis and the resulting decline in the Nigerian equities market in 2009 resulted in significant provisions by a number of Nigerian banks. Following a special examination and investigation of the 24 banks that comprised the Nigerian banking system, the CBN found significant irregularities and capital adequacy deficiencies at some of the banks, resulting in a number of proposed reforms including the creation of the Asset and Management Corporation of Nigeria (“AMCON”), a government-backed corporation set up with the primary objective of purchasing a significant portion of the non-performing assets in the Nigerian banking sector and providing assistance in the recapitalisation of undercapitalised banks to help restore the health of the banking sector. The CBN expects that AMCON will issue FGN-guaranteed bonds in the amount of approximately N4.5 trillion (U.S.$16.6 billion), of which approximately N1 trillion was issued in December 2010, and an additional aggregate of N1.7 trillion was issued in April 2011 (with the first N1.15 trillion tranche swapped for the initial consideration AMCON Bonds issued in December 2010) to acquire much of the estimated N2.2 trillion of non-performing assets in the banking sector.

The following is a copy of the letter on the revenue and expenditure forecast by KPMG Professional Services, the Reporting Accountants to the State on the Debt Issuance Programme.

Letter from the Reporting Accountants

The Executive Council Lagos State Government of Nigeria Alausa, Ikeja Lagos 25 July 2012

Dear Sirs,

Report on the Revenue and Expenditure Forecast

We have examined the accompanying revenue and expenditure projections of Lagos State Government of Nigeria

(“the State” or “the State Government”) for ten years to 31 December 2022 in accordance with the International

Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE3400) applicable to the examination of prospective financial

information. The Lagos State Executive Council is solely responsible for the forecast including the assumptions

set out on page 3 on which it is based.

Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions, nothing has come to our attention which

causes us to believe that these assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the forecast. Furthermore in our

opinion, the forecast is properly compiled on the basis of the assumptions made by the State Executive Council

and is prepared on a basis consistent with accounting policies normally adopted by the State. Actual results are

likely to be different from the forecast since anticipated events may or may not occur as expected and the

variation may be material.

Finally, we emphasise that the forecast information is not intended to, and does not, provide all the information

and disclosures necessary to give a fair presentation of the results of the activities of Lagos State Government in

accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended 1989 and 1999; the Finance

(Control and Management) Act of 1958; the Financial Regulation and Revenue Allocation Laws Applicable in

Nigeria.

We have no responsibilities to update this report for events and circumstances after the date of this report. Yours Faithfully,

Oladapo R. Okubadejo

18.1 REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

The following is a copy of the letter on the revenue and expenditure forecast by KPMG Professional Services, the Reporting Accountants to the Bond Issue.

The Executive Council Lagos State Government of Nigeria

Alausa, Ikeja

Lagos

25 July 2012

Dear Sirs

We have examined the audited financial statements of Lagos State Government (“the State”) for the five

years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

The financial statements, which have been prepared under the cash basis, were reported upon by the

Auditor-General of the State in line with Section 125 (5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of

Nigeria.

The financial statements on which the financial information is based are the responsibility of the State

Executive Council who approves their issue. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the financial

information based on our review. The State Executive Council is also responsible for the contents of the

prospectus in which this report is included.

Our review was conducted in accordance with International Standards on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400.

This standard requires that we plan and perform our review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the

financial statements are free from material misstatement. The review was limited primarily to inquiries from

the representatives of the State Executive Council, analytical procedures applied to financial data and a

review of evidence obtained by the Auditor-General on those financial statements, and therefore provide

less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit, and accordingly, we do not express an audit

opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying

financial information does not give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Lagos State as at the dates of

the Statement of Assets and Liabilities stated and of its revenue and expenditure for each of the years then

ended, in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Yours faithfully

Oladapo R. Okubadejo

10. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Federal Government took over the management of all public sector external debt in 1995 and thus, debt servicing was treated as a first charge against the Federation Account. However, the Supreme Court‟s judgement on the Resource Control suit declared such practice as unconstitutional and ruled that each tier of government must bear its own burden. Consequently, the Federal Government distributed the country‟s external debt among the 36 states of which Lagos State‟s share of the debt is about US$190 million. The external debts were contracted between 1966 and 1993. The claim is being contested by the State Government and it includes penalties and interest accumulated during the years of management by Federal Government. The above notwithstanding, the claim is being serviced by monthly deductions of about N171 million from the State‟s statutory allocation. This repayment does not have a material impact on the finances of the State. 11. CLAIMS & LITIGATION The Lagos State Government in its ordinary course of business is involved in 157 cases. The claims against Lagos State have an estimated monetary value of N28.1 billion. The Ministry of Justice seeks out of court settlement of any claims with the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome to the Government. The Solicitors to the Issue are of the opinion that none of the claims is likely to have any material adverse effect on the State.

19. OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION

19.1 STATEMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS Save as disclosed herein, as at the date on which this Shelf Prospectus is issued, the State had no outstanding debentures, mortgages, loan capital, overdrafts, short term loans, charges or similar indebtedness or material contingent liabilities other than those arising from the ordinary course of activities. As at the date of the audited financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2011 the aggregate net debt position of the State amounted to N126,904,743,343.00. This consists of the State‟s internal loans (naira denominated borrowings), external loans (long term foreign currency borrowings) and the principal amounts of the Series I & II Bonds (N107.5 Billion) under the N275 Billion Bond Programme; and less the balance of N57,736,737,426.00 standing to the credit of the Sinking Funds, as managed by the Trustees as at June 30 2012. 19.2 STATEMENT OF CLAIMS, LITIGATIONS AND DISPUTES

The detailed list of all the State‟s Claims & Litigation is set out in the document titled “Schedule of Claims & Litigation”. Except as disclosed in this Prospectus, including the documents referred to under "Documents Available for Inspection" on page 79 of this Shelf Prospectus, there are no pending or threatened legal or arbitration actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the State which may have, or have had during the 12 months prior to the date hereof, individually or in the aggregate, a significant effect on the financial position of the State and, to the best of the knowledge of the State, no such actions, suits or proceedings are pending or threatened. There are currently about 157 (One Hundred and Fifty Seven) cases involving the Lagos State Government. A review of these cases as supplied to the Joint Solicitors to the Issue was undertaken with a view to ascertaining the contingent liability on the State. The total sum of the claims against the State is approximately in the sum of N28,144,528,483.80. However, it is important to note that a significant portion of this sum consists of arbitrary requests by claimants for general damages that are often either refused entirely or reduced significantly by the courts. General damages are in contrast to special damages that are based on an objective linear calculation of cost-recovery. In addition, the current strategy adopted by the Ministry of Justice is to settle amicably any claims with the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome to the Government. The Solicitors are also of the opinion that there are a number of unmeritorious claims that may likely be dismissed at the conclusion of the cases. On the whole, the Solicitors to the Issue are of the opinion that none of the cases are likely to have any material adverse effect on the State or the Issue. The Joint Solicitors to the Issue are also not aware of any other pending or threatened litigation against the State. 19.3 COSTS & EXPENSES

The costs, charges and other expenses incidental to the Programme including the fees payable to the regulatory authorities, professional parties, brokerage commission, printing, distribution, publicity and advertising expenses will be determined at each issuance and will not exceed the maximum amount stipulated by the regulatory authorities and are payable by the State. 19.4 DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION
