The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said the Badagry seaport project, when completed and fully operational, will yield investment opportunities for residents.

Sanwo-Olu disclosed this on Tuesday during a community engagement on the seaport project in Topo, Badagry.

He said, “The Badagry deep seaport project is not just one project; it is a multi-level opportunity for progress for all the people of this state in view of the volume of trade and quantum of investment opportunities that would spring up in the area when the project commences, and when it is completed and operational.

“It is expected that with these two deep seaports, we will experience significant relief from the difficult challenges being experienced in the Apapa axis as a result of the activities at Tin Can Port which has been overstretched beyond its installed capacity.”

The Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, Dr Lola Akande, said the ministry would continue to promote sustainable industrial growth.
