The governor and members of the state’s cabinet are currently on a two-day working tour of the three free trade zones established in Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos.
After going through the project master plan, Sanwo-Olu said his administration remained committed to delivering the project, stressing that the deep seaport and other investments happening in the corridor had the potential to increase the State’s GDP in multiple folds.He said: “Given the report I got and what I have seen here, I can say that Lagos Free Zone has made tremendous improvement.
When it is completed, the deep seaport is expected to generate more than 170,000 direct and indirect job opportunities for Lagos residents, and serve as an alternative in an effort to decongest the Federal Government-owned seaports in Apapa.
