Not many may have heard of Lekki Seaport, maybe due to the fact that it is currently in works. The Lekki Seaport is located at Lekki, it is a 21st-century built seaport in Lagos State, Nigeria.
It was built from 2015 to 2018. It is the largest seaport of Nigeria. Lekki is to be expanded to have a capacity of handling around 6 million TEUs of containers and a significant volume of liquid and dry bulk containerized cargoes.
Lekki Deep Sea Port Project was awarded to Lekki Port LFTZ Enterprise Limited by Nigerian Ports Authority on a Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) agreement. Under this agreement, LPLEL is required to develop, finance, build, operate the port for a period of 45 years and transfer it to NPA thereafter.
The Project is the single largest private investment in infrastructure in Nigeria being developed on non-recourse project finance basis with the majority of financing being raised internationally.
Upon completion, Lekki Deep Sea Port will be sub-Saharan Africa’s deepest port and Nigeria’s first deep seaport with a total of 3 container berths, 1 dry bulk berth and 3 liquid berths which are key in bridging the current capacity deficit of the port.
The Lekki seaport has being ongoing massive construction work which are not known to the media or not reported may be due to the location that is restricted.
AutoReportNG got some images from the massive ongoing construction from this location.
