    In a recent ceremony at the port located at Itoke Village, Ibeju Lekki, CHEC Vice President Wu Di, also a Director of Lekki Port, announced the official completion. The Governor of Lagos State, one of the shareholders of Lekki Port, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, reiterated his commitment to the timely delivery of the road infrastructure network around the Ibeju Lekki axis to ensure the efficient delivery of cargo from the port.

    Lekki Port Chairman Biodun Dabiri expressed his gratitude to CHEC and Tolaram for their bold decision to invest in maritime infrastructure to assist Nigeria’s journey to economic prosperity. Also speaking at the event, the General Project Manager of CHELE, Xie Xianju, said Lekki Port would be the destination of choice in the sub-region.
