Dangote Plans Nigeria’s Biggest And Deepest Seaport In Ogun State
About The Author
Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg, the president of Dangote Group disclosed that paperwork for the project had already been submitted, and preparations were underway to commence development on the proposed Atlantic seaport.
According to Dangote, the new port is envisioned as a major export hub for industrial goods, including liquefied natural gas (LPG), and would play a crucial role in strengthening Nigeria’s maritime infrastructure while supporting the expansion of his growing business empire.
“It’s not that we want to do everything by ourselves, but I think doing this will encourage other entrepreneurs to come into it,” he said.
Olokola, a long-identified location for industrial development along Nigeria’s southwestern coast, was previously earmarked for free trade zones and energy projects. Dangote’s renewed interest is expected to revive investor confidence in the region.
