Lekki port 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 uncontainerized cargoes. The port is to be equipped with ships able to transport over 14,500 containers.[2]
The port is being developed in phases. Its phase one, be operational in 2018, chiefly comprises it three container berths equipped to handle more than 1.8 million TEUs — one berth for dry bulk goods and two berths for liquid cargo.[3]
The port is financed by private investors and a consortium of banks who have funded the project with $1.5 billion as of March 2021. The seaport is to occupy up to 90 hectares of land.[4] The port started commercial operations in April 2023.[1]
On October, 31st, 2022, the port has been handed over to the owners. Commissioning will start "in the next month".[5][6] Lagos State governor Sanwo-Olu promised on this occasion to expand the roads to the port to 6 lane highways.[5]
