Ambode To Pump $60m Into Lekki Free Zone Project by LoveMachine(m): 1:30pm On Mar 25, 2017 |
Lagos State governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, yesterday, said about $60million would be pumped into the ongoing development of the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ) within the next six months. The governor, who spoke when he met with stakeholders at the Zone, assured that he remains committed to addressing the challenges and ensuring the project is actualised. “I want to assure that our financial commitment to LFTZ will be improved in 2017, that is, we will accelerate to quickly clear our outstanding counterpart funding for the Zone. “In essence, we expect that in the next six month, we should be having an investment of over $60 million. I believe that when we invest our share of the fund and China Africa Lekki Investment Limited (CALIL) does, it will bring a major development for the Zone,” he said. The governor said that putting the fund at the Zone at a time when Nigeria was gradually easing its way out of recession would not only improve infrastructure and boost development, but will also help attract more investors to the Zone. He said over $6billion has been invested in the LFTZ in the last few years, with Dangote Group providing a lion share of about $4billion. Ambode said: “Over $6 billion has been invested in the Zone in the last few years with Dangote share in the lump sum at $4 billion and we have a land space of over 16,000 hectares of which, just a portion of it is activated. “We are all aware of the investments by Dangote Group and the China Africa Lekki Investment Limited (CALIL), had done as it concerns the partnership they signed with the Lagos State Government. And this partnership made the company own 60 percent while Lagos owns 40 percent.” Ambode also assured that work would commence on the Lekki Deep Sea Port next month, saying that it was also a critical infrastructure that would attract more investors into the Zone and ensure return on investment. “With the ongoing construction of the seaport, airport and others, it is obvious that a single road isn’t sufficient for the Zone. “It is now clear that we have to dualise the Lekki-Eleko Road beyond the Zone in order to withstand the influx of vehicle that will be making use of the road to access the Zone. With this, we will be able to sustain the investments in the area,” the governor said. He expressed optimism that with the Lekki Deep Sea Port, Dangote Refinery and Lekki Airport coming on board, the Lagos East axis would witness massive economic turnaround within the next two years. http://thenationonlineng.net/ambode-pump-60m-lekki-free-zone-project/ 10 Likes 3 Shares

Eko Atlantic City Badagry seaport Lekki Deep Sea Port Dangote Refinery Lekki FTZ Huuuh!! All in one city. Abeg.. Lagos is not their daddy's mate. Ogun is not their mummy's mate. At the moment, these 2 states are like the only states where things are really happening. No wonder they are the only states that have been able to generate more than their FA. Are y'all surprised they are both SW states? Opolo ni, no be muscle. Can't wait for Oyo to join the mix and the other three SW states. A seaport in Ondo will definitely open up the other SW states. Meanwhile, awa pipu from that side are still busy developing all South Asian countries, signing fake MOUs and blaming Yorubas for poo not coming out of their ...... In Madam Faka's voice, I can only tell them to "kontinew". Alabiabia will build their region for them 136 Likes 20 Shares |

Lagos state has been blessed with hard working leaders, who has the interest of the state and citizen at heart. I believe if Lagos is a country of its own they would be having minimum 18hours uninterrupted electricity. I just hope Nigeria can develop at the pace Lagos is developing, we should forget about centralized system of government and move back to regional government, this will enable state who consider themselves as civil servants state to think of other ways of generating income to sustain the state.
