Lekki deep seaport is ready for official commissioning and commencement of commercial operations at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Managing Director,Lekki Port LFTZ Enterprise Limited (LPLEL), Mr Du Ruogang, who disclosed this during a media parley in Lagos on Wednesday said all necessary arrangements are being put in place for the official commissioning by President Muhammadu Buhari, after which the port will be fully set for the start of commercial operations.
He noted that the terminal operator, Lekki Free Port Terminal (LFT), is putting everything in place to give a world-class port experience adding that all the relevant agencies have been sensitised to undertake their roles in the new port.
Ruogang applauded the media for the port’s success just as he urged them to extend the same support to the container terminal operator, Lekki Freeport Terminal, as they prepare to commence operations.
He noted that as the Lagos State Government commenced work on the construction of access roads leading to the port, there is need for more support in the area of infrastructural development to ensure easy cargo movement out of the port.
