United States Investors Coming To Lekki Free Trade Zone: US Consul General by Faiththatworks(op): 11:59am On Dec 21, 2023
United States Consul General, William Stevens has said the Lagos Free Zone is capable of attracting increased foreign direct investments from the United States. This surge is attributed to the zone’s exceptional infrastructure and a plethora of incentives, including its integration with the Lekki Deep Sea Port and Dangote Refinery

Stevens, leading a delegation from the United States Consulate General, expressed this optimism following a comprehensive tour of companies and facilities within the Lagos Free Zone, the first privately owned zone in Nigeria.

Stevens, who lauded the impressive and outstanding business relationship between Tolaram and US companies, said through the opportunities at the Lagos Free Zone, investors from the United States of America have deepened penetration in the Nigerian market by introducing world-class goods and services to Nigerians.

Established in 2012, Lagos Free Zone (LFZ) is a unique and award-winning port-based industrial zone (850 hectares) in Lagos, Nigeria, with over USD 2.5 billion committed FDI projects to date. Owned and promoted by Tolaram, LFZ is located in Lekki, the sunrise development corridor in Lagos, with the vision is to be the preferred industrial hub in West Africa with world-class infrastructure.

The zone is already serving global brands like BASF, Kellogg’s, Colgate, Arla, Dufil, and Lekki Port, Dangote Refinery,among others, as tenants. Lekki Port at LFZ started operations in April 2023. It is the deepest seaport in Nigeria, with a draft of 16.5m and the capacity to handle 1.2mn TEUs per annum.

Big Things are happening in Ibeju Lekki Industrial Hub that comprises the Lekki Free Trade Zone,the Dangote Refinery and the Lekki Deep Sea port.
I encourage anyone who is in doubt to go and verify, don't allow anyone tell you of what is happening there,visit and see yourself
Let me share this true story for those still in doubt.....
A certain government official who served in both in the Jonathan and Obasanjo government was quick to invest in a community very close to the Refinery,according to accounts she bought close to 200 plots in the community
The Government official was kind enough to grant the community a New Electric Transformer and repaired the roads for the community, today that same property is worth more than 1000% in value,the Government offical in question is from the South East and works in " World Organization"

Visit my signature on how you can get a property around the Dangote Refinery

May Nigeria succeed.

But why were our Eastern folks happy and were rejoicing when Nairaland had a little setback?? the past few days made me see how vile and bitter these folks can be. Same Nairaland they would market things freely and get customers, Advice, job opportunities and help. lotta em were even wishing the crash was Permanent like wtf??

Tbh I've never seen folks who would rather want their house to burn to the ground just to prove a little point to their landlords, same way any good news bout Nigeria annoys them.

Like I said earlier, Nigeria and Nairaland will continue to succeed, same with our Seun. And all her enemies will continue fall no matter how much they are.

Pray harder. Infact, keep night vigil and fast for 6 months.

But note, that is an exercise in futility.

Lies!!! Ibeju lekki is a dead zone don’t waste your money investing there. Think about it a place without electricity the past 17years, the road construction is taking decades to finish and the worse of all the people there are so backwards like they are in the 60s

You are right.

They are already praying very hard for the failure.

But as in the case when they prayed and fasted for Buhari to die, it is another exercise in futility.

If I see any tribalistic comment on this thread, I’ll file an abuse dispute with the compliance team of Nairaland’s new host and they will take the blog down again

Be warned
