The Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has restated his government’s commitment to construct a new port in the Badagry axis of the state to decongest Apapa and Tincan Island ports and bring in more investors into the state.

He disclosed this when the acting Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Adewale Adeniyi, paid him a courtesy visit at the Lagos House, Marina.

Sanwo-Olu noted that the state government was already in touch with a contractor for the construction of the Badagry Port.

While reiterating his administration’s commitment to making Lagos a business destination for as many investors as possible to improve the economic prosperity of the state, Sanwo-Olu expressed willingness to continue to partner with the Nigeria Customs Service to ensure turnaround for the ports in the state to be globally competitive and make Lagos a top destination for West African countries.

Speaking earlier, the acting CG noted that Lagos as the economic nerve centre of Nigeria generated 70 to 75 per cent of customs revenue in the country.

He pledged to end smuggling so as to boost Made-in-Nigeria products and improve the economy of the country.

Good development

With Tinubu as President all positive developments are possible

Great

Deja vu

Those who know opportunity have seen it already!

That's the next place to secure the next real estate investment

What happened to non SW ports when GEJ was the president, ANYIM PIUS ANYIM was the SGF,OKONJO IWEALA was the coordinating minister of the economy ALLYSON MADUEKE was the minister of petroleum,STELLA ODUAH was minister of Aviation,EMEFIELE was the CBN Governor, ARUMA OTEH was the chairman SEC,PETER OBI was later the chairman of SEC ,IKE EKWEREMADU was the deputy senate president, EMEKA IHEDIOHA was the deputy speaker..all for 5years 2010 to 2015!
Some will never take responsibility for their life but blame others

Unlearned people will still allude the glory to Tinubu.

Good one , Nigerians will enjoy by the time this government is stable, I'll advise you suspend your Japa plans ooo because better days are coming.

But we actually do have ports in other parts of the country that are not working to maximum capacity. I believe the govt can help make laws that can encourage such ports. Instead of creating more congestion in Badagry axis, let's try to decongest Lagos and the terrible traffic.

Rubbish! Why do we Igbos keep developing and building ports in the South West when we have none at home.(I'm being sarcastic by the way,yet I still got likes from people whom are delusional enough to believe what I typed)

Let the congestion continue

A welcome development. That's the benefits of being close to the sea.

Very laughable!!!
Does it mean no state in SS can build seaport?

Forget about Ibom deep sea we been hearing for years .

Rivers state have two non are functioning

Is Lagos Nigeria?
This development is really astronomical

You want to do port in lagos,making it the third, but all the coastal line in the ss and Se ports are not working or not working as it should

For those mumu quoting me, you think this is a sole LAGOS project without backing from the center? Where Lagos see money wey them wan do port just lile that. Abi you no knpw how much e cost?

.

This is the best time to invest in Lagos and Yorubaland states if you don't hate the Yoruba and Yorubaland and you want our land to bless you, your investments with great ROI.

If you hate the Yoruba or intend to meddle in our local politics, don't bother to bring your investments because it will not be blessed.
May God bless Nigeria for ever!Check my signature for free stuffs!

I have 4 plots in that area already, completed 1. Someone was asking me why Badagry, i simply said, I have seen the future of Lagos. The only thing stopping Badagry at the moment is good roads, once that is fixed, trust me, that's the new LAGOS. Besides, I am from Badagry.

Ok now

Repair bad roads and curb armed robbery first

My boy is working

Why is the government not building ports in port Harcourt

Good one there!!!

I'm proud to be a Nigerian seeing news like this.

Is sanwolu the only governor in Nigeria?

Is south west the only region of Nigeria working?

What's happening in South East for God sake?

Yet some people will not remove the log of wood in their own eyes.

Fake love marafuvkers...

Good one as this will aid the usage of the sultan beach for more commercial purpose.
