The governor said these projects would further boost the state’s economy and serve generations to come. ”The second infrastructure is what we call the Omu Creek, a huge infrastructure, that has been landlock in Lagos because of the crossing over of body of water to have access unto the land.”The third project will be the Lekki-Epe Airport, which will open up the entire free trade zone region.”We are building the largest food logistics hub in the entire sub-saharan Africa and Afreximbank is excited in this and what it does to the economy,” he said.
