The Nigerian Shippers’ Council, (NSC), participated in an executive breakfast discussion in Lagos, themed “Unlocking Opportunities: The Lekki Deep-Sea Port Playbook for Transforming Trade and Shipping in Nigeria.”
The event, convened by the Nigerian Chamber of Shipping, brought together key maritime stakeholders to discuss the potential of the Lekki Deep-Sea Port.
With a $1.5 Billion Investment, the Lekki Deep-Sea Port is a significant investment in Nigeria’s maritime infrastructure, with a capacity of 1.2 million TEUs and dedicated terminals for containers, liquid bulk, and dry bulk.
Presenting his keynote address, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, H.E. Adegboyega Oyetola, CON, emphasized the port’s potential to transform Nigeria’s global trade standing, generate thousands of jobs, decongest Lagos ports, and position Nigeria as a competitive logistics hub.
