Allow me to iterate that Badagry port is primarily for the expansion of the economic potentials of Lagos state and Yorubas in particular, then maybe Nigeria in general. Nigeria govt can manage the ports, collect all the VAT but because our system is highly tribalistic, Yorubas remain the ultimate beneficiaries as Nigerias existences for another century isnt guaranteed. Nice one by Ambode and the Yorubas for pushing themselves to new economic heights using the name Nigeria. ![]() All the SS states that have coastlines should copy something as good as this. Nothing stops the states especially Rivers from partnering with the FG to build another port and connect to our major towns and cities. 7 Likes |

Hmmm..... $2.6 B foreign investment. What are we gaining from this?...500k jobs and bragging rights? What's in it for the foreign investors?...is the port in our interest or their interest? Free Zone...sounds nice..but what exactly is a Free Zone?...it's like an industrial Embassy...where the laws of the land (Nigeria/Lagos) do not apply....many foreign industries set up in this area..... import raw materials...exploit the cheap abundant labour force... and export the finished products.

slimfit1: 1. The deep seaport itself is an investment, a major investment since it's going to be the largest deep seaport in Africa. 2. For any investor or entity to invest $billions in any environment especially in Lagos, they must have been offered mouth watering incentives to do so. 3. 1st, there must be ready made infrastructures and import and export facilities at the FTZ to attract factories and industries and not the other way around like factories and industries first before FTZ import and export infrastructures. 4. Ikeja, Apapa, Matori, Ilupeju and Mushin industrial estates are Nigeria's industrial power house and they have been since the 50's, but the factories and industries moved in because Awolowo created the estates and built the infrastructures first which was the main magnet and attraction for industries and factories.. 5. Like any business, there's always risks involved which is their problem and not yours.. Private investors are building the deep seaport and they have been building and managing successful seaports all over the world so they have obviously done their home work based on their business model and profit potential before investing their money. 7 Likes |

News Letter Properties @ proposed smart city, Lekki in Lagos,Nigeria........ There are a few developments taking place along the *Ibeju-Lekki axis* which will be of interest to a property investor or a potential property investor. Some of them are: *1. The Lekki-Epe International Airport:* This is an airport development project which the master plan has been completed and a 3500 hectare site for the airport has been secured. The airport is designed to handle five million passengers per annum with scope for future expansion. *2. Lekki Free Trade Zone:* The Free Trade Zone is strategically located in Ibeju- Lekki to serve the exponentially growing metropolis as well as the promising Nigerian hinterland. It began in 2002 with over 215 hectares of land. In 2012, an additional 590 hectares of land was acquired, marking the beginning of phase 2. Over the next four years, the zone will see a large-scale development resulting in it becoming fully operational by the year 2018. *3. The Dangote Refinery:* The refinery will be the largest single refinery plant anywhere in the world which will produce some petrochemical products in the same complex. It covers 250,000 hectares of land and is located in the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Lagos. It will refine 650 million barrels of crude oil a day. *4. The Forth Mainland Bridge:* The proposed Bridge will pass through Lekki, Langbasa and Baiyeiku towns along the shoreline of the Lagos Lagoon estuaries, further running through Igbogbo River Basin and crossing the Lagos Lagoon estuaries to Itamaga Area in Ikorodu. *5. The Lekki Deep Sea Port:* The port has been conceptualised on the basis of a significant gap in projected demand and capacity. Market studies indicate that the demand for containers is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.9% up to 2025. The strategic location, flexible and optimised layout and modern facilities provide Lekki Port a distinct competitive edge over any other port facility in the West African region. The above shows that the Ibeju-Lekki area will experience an exponential rise in the demand for real property in the region in the coming years. *The time for a prudent property investor to come in is NOW.* We currently have several estates in the axis with property options for as low as #700k per plot@Blevic Garden Estate (3min derive to lekki free trade zone ,Ibeju Lekki) EUC Homes: Uptown courts-3.5M per plot(1mile to Dangote refinery) Cherry Wood- 3M per plot(1mile to Dangote refinery) Lagoon Courts- 2M per plot(by new international air port) Hampton Court- 1.5M per plot(15min derive from Ajah) and lot more.

![]() I'll always credit this man anytime, any day. His handwork and wonderful impact on Lagos is so immense and definitely going to be everlasting. 1. $14 billion Dangote refinery was slated to be built in Ondo state, but the PDP and Mimiko were playing games with the project so Fashola stepped in and did everything under the sun to move the refinery project and the single largest private investment in Africa to Lagos which is going to make Lagos the largest producer of petroleum products in Africa with the largest refinery, largest fertilizer plant and largest petrochemical plant in Africa. 2. The Badagry deep seaport was championed by Fashola back in 2012 and the APM stated as one of the advantages for the project is the 10 lane Badagry which again Fashola championed and promoted. Our site is located just outside metropolitan Lagos along the Benin-Lagos expressway which is currently being upgraded from a 4-lane to a 10-lane highway. When completed, the new road will offer superior connectivity to all of Nigeria’s Western and Northern states and ensure the port becomes the lasting replacement for congested metro-Lagos area ports going forward. 3. Many of his visions are still on tap like the Lekki deap seaport and Lekki Airport.. This is how hardworking and credible leaders with vision plan ahead and connect all the dots to achieve meaningful goals and development... 2 Likes 1 Share |

DesChyko:What FG wrong are we talking about exactly?... Lagos state is building a seaport to boost Lagos' economy, but you blame FG for not building one in the SS/SE? Are there no leaders in the SS/SE?... Why does the leadership vacuum in the SS/SE always have to be blamed on the FG?... Early 90's, I know the multitude of companies that existed in Warri paying millions in tax and employing millions directly and indirectly, but today 95% of those companies have moved away to PH and mainly Lagos all due to the indiscretions and criminality of some lazy youths and the stupidity of those who should have known better to stop those youths but rather chose to encourage, glorify and defend their criminality. Just recently even the almighty Shell left Warri, but instead of identifying or acknowledging the real issue, people choose to believe and dwell in nonsense theories about how the FG is responsible for the unfriendly business atmosphere in the Niger Delta. Meanwhile it's never too late to remedy the problem; Niger delta states still receive the highest allocations, there's really nothing stopping SS state governments from establishing world class seaports even if it means pulling resources together. But will importers use the new seaports with the self-inflicted security situation in the zone?... That's a question for the gods. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

obailala: I believe you are aware that NPA isn't a Lagos State Government agency? The wharf we know in Lagos today was built by the NPA and that opened Lagos to the monopoly of being the sole imports route. Lagos State is able to tap into the idea of a new seaport because the success of the first, along with other favours including the current congestion at the port has put it on that pedestal to dream big. All I'm asking is that let the FG channel same dedication into developing and maintaining a competent seaport in this region. Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Delta and Rivers are strategically positioned like Lagos to house such responsibility. Early 90's, I know the multitude of companies that existed in Warri paying millions in tax and employing millions directly and indirectly, but today 95% of those companies have moved away to PH and mainly Lagos all due to the indiscretions and criminality of some lazy youths and the stupidity of those who should have known better to stop those youths but rather chose to encourage, glorify and defend their criminality. Just recently even the almighty Shell left Warri, but instead of identifying or acknowledging the real issue, people choose to believe and dwell in nonsense theories about how the FG is responsible for the unfriendly business atmosphere in the Niger Delta. Well, I wouldn't claim to be privy to this information, but I would like to know: What exactly is the criminality in the youths that closed the pre-existing 'seaports' which is the bone of contention here? It seems you are no longer addressing the seaport issue again. If I am not mistaken, calls for a seaport in the SE (precisely Onitsha) were much discussed last three years, but yet again, the FG shelved it. Meanwhile it's never too late to remedy the problem; Niger delta states still receive the highest allocations, there's really nothing stopping SS state governments from establishing world class seaports even if it means pulling resources together. But will importers use the new seaports with the self-inflicted security situation in the zone?... That's a question for the gods.The security situation wasn't a problem to the government before when they were getting their due derivatives before. Now that it was crippling the economy, they decided to take it head-on. I'm sure if the FG through the NPA invest money in the SS seaport, they would definitely look after its success. The millions of people living in the region haven't run away, but you feel the seaports would be dormant? Think again. Moreover, the possibility of channeling to Onitsha is even a much better alternative |

DesChyko: 1. The fact that the FG is responsible for any port in Lagos has nothing to do with the Lagos state government teaming up with private entities to build better and modern seaports in Lagos state. 2. Lagos state is tapping into the idea of 2 new deep seaports because of their own economic desires and future development and not because of any FG ports. People like you make lazy thinking excuses for incompetent and lazy state governors. It's like saying Lagos state is building the 10 lane Lagos/Badagry expressway with Metro rail just to tap into any FG related project or the Lagos state government built the Lekki Ikoyi bridge just to tap into some FG bridge project. This has got to be the most absurd and ridiculous argument ever... 3. If you have the capacity to build anything on your own and if the need and market is there for you to justify it and make it successful, then go ahead and build it. Only lazy, irresponsible, incompetent and vision less leaders wait and sit on their hands for the FG to build anything for them. Despite the yearly allocation of several billions of naira for the construction of a proposed greenfield deep seaport at Ibaka in Akwa Ibom State by both the State Government and the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) since 2011, the project has remained elusive, with no evidence of a port being built at the proposed site. Akpabio budgets billions every year for this invisible seaport. 1. Ibaka seaport is not in the FG gazette and there is zero FG budget for it. Meaning the FG doesn't know anything about this seaport officially 2. Akpabio budgets billions for this bridge every year with not even bush clearing or fence erected. Meaning Akpabio pockets free billions every year. Have you asked Akpabio what happened to the project and the billions he budgeted for the project and pocketed? You people cry and yell over what credible and competent leaders in Lagos state are doing to better their state, but you wont ask your own state governors what they are doing or have done to better their states and your lives. You just sit and cry and cry, you wait for the FG to tie your shoes for you and even wife your asssx after shitting.... You are your own problem, not Lagos state or the FG.. 2 Likes |

The port in Lagos was built by the British and NOT The FG. Port construction in Lagos is relatively cheap and straightforward because of the terrain i.e no swamps or mangrove and very close to the sea with existing road networks. The FG is only good at collecting money and not investing or maintaining infrastructure. The port and roads out of Apapa are a good example . Yes the constitution places power to authorize ports with the FG but if the state government finds money or even an individual they can come to a financial agreement with the FG and things will take off. I do not see the FG building any new ports any time soon. If they did not do so when oil was $100 when will they do it? Imagine the money that Ibori stole? Akpabio ,Odili and Amaechi Those states have no excuse for not building a port. The FG has ALREADY approved the Ibaka Seaport as far as NPA is concerned what is holding it back is money.

You attributed the ability of the Lagos state government to team up with investors to build seaports to the FG and the existence of FG ports in Lagos when in fact this is more about the Lagos state blessed with sane and credible leaders looking out for Lagos state and their economic future, something your own Lazy and incompetent leaders don't know how to do, all they teach you losers to do is to always point at the FG and never their incompetence and laziness.. Is the FG building the new seaport in Badagry? No. So what's your silly cry and argument about the FG got to with the dep seaport in Badagry? You should look in the mirror for senselessness and incoherent. And what's cut and paste propaganda about Akpabio budgeting billions every year for Ibaka and still not even ordinary fence to show? Didn't you ask why the FG is not channeling same dedication into developing and maintaining a competent seaport in? Of course you don't want to hear about Akpabio budgeting and looting funds for ibaka seaport... This is all you mentally lazy people do, you excuse and make excuses for lazy, corrupt and incompetent people while having sleepless nights over Lagos state and leaders who are really working to better their states and their people...... You mind explaining to us why Akpabio spent billions on a white elephant football field instead of seaport? Useless people. 2 Likes |
