President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday directed the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to raise a memo to facilitate the linkage of the Lekki Deep Sea Port and the railway network.
While thanking Amaechi for making the seaport a reality, the president said the minister needs to consult towards bringing up a memorandum to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to link the facility with the railway network.
This was part of the president’s engagements in Lagos, when inspected the rate of work done at the first Deep Sea Port in Nigeria located in Lagos Free Zone, 65Km east of Lagos.
In the course of the inspection, the President received firm assurances that the port, which has a concession period of 45 years and sits in a land area of 90 hectares, will be completed on schedule by September.
