Badagry Deep-Sea Port, Africa’s Biggest Deep Sea Port Project close to begin
16 March 2022
Recently, the Lagos governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, stated that construction on the Badagry Deep-Sea Port would begin in June 2022 after the state is granted approval by the federal government in April. Governor Sanwo-Olu guaranteed this after an outcry from the host communities over the alleged neglect and delay of the Badagry Seaport project, an idea that was conceived over a decade ago.
He stated that once the Badagry deep seaport project is fully operational, the project would improve the lives of Badagry, the state, and the West African region as a whole. He emphasized prioritizing employment and capacity building for the teeming youth and women in the affected communities.
Mr. Sanwo-Olu stated that the stakeholders’ meeting would assist stakeholders to think together and set a unified course of action in order to make the Badagry Deep Seaport a reality in the shortest possible time.
The project is a joint venture between Integrated Logistics Services (INTELS) and the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA). The Badagry Deep-Sea Port project will cost US$ 2.6B and will generate about 500,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities.
