The governor also inspected the Badagry Deep Sea Port project, promising that his administration would give adequate support to the initiative.
He said the Sea Port, upon completion, would be the biggest in the African continent.
“The land space for the Deep Sea Port is over 1,000 hectares of which we have just been told that there’s going to be a free trade zone and then a container terminal that we are going to have here.
“We have a bouquet of investors who have signed on to this project and what that means for us is that we are going to have the largest cargo container port in Africa, situated in Badagry.
“We hope that in the next two months, we’re coming to start this project here.”
