Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced the imminent start of Phase 2 development at the Lekki Deep Sea Port. This expansion aims to further establish Lagos as a premier maritime hub for West Africa and a key gateway for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The project is expected to significantly increase the port’s capacity and efficiency. Details regarding the scope and timeline of Phase 2 were not immediately available. However, officials anticipate a positive impact on trade and economic growth within the region. The Lekki Port, already operational, represents a major infrastructure investment for Nigeria. This next phase underscores the state’s commitment to bolstering its position in international commerce.
