The Lagos Free Zone (LFZ), Nigeria’s first privately-owned zone, is about to see a surge in foreign direct investments from the US in a historic development.
The zone’s outstanding infrastructure and several benefits, such as its integration with the Lekki Deep Sea Port, are credited for the boom. After a thorough inspection of businesses and infrastructure in the zone, William Stevens, the US Consul General, who was heading a group from the US Consulate General, expressed hope. Stevens praised Tolaram and US corporations for their remarkable and excellent business connection.
He claims that by bringing top-notch products and services to Nigeria, American investors have increased their market share there thanks to the LFZ’s prospects.
In addition to strengthening the economic relations between Nigeria and the superpower, he pointed out that the surge of investments from American businesses would highlight the special benefits the LFZ offers to American businesses hoping to have a strong foothold in the Nigerian market.
“The prospects presented by Tolaram’s cooperation with American companies are astounding. We are always trying to figure out how to get more American businesses to invest in and trade with this market,” he stated.
The sentiment was mirrored by Dinesh Rathi, Chief Executive Officer of LFZ, who emphasized that the zone continues to be the top investment destination because of its world-class infrastructure and alluring incentives for prospective investors.
