The N7bn Lekki International Airport is a Lagos state project situated in Ibeju Lekki. It is designed to drive urban development and tourism in the Ibeju Lekki Area of Lagos state. It is Located about 10km from Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ).

You might be asking of what use is another sea port when we have Apapa and Tican sea port already, let me tell you something my dear, the Lekki FREE Trade Zone will be housing more than 200 manufacturing companies plus the Dangote Oil Refinery.
Would rather let them all go through Apapa and Tican before they bring in raw materials or export their finished product or would you build a more closer one for them to hit the ground and start running?

Lekki Free Trade Zone is also an historic project that Lagos state government is very proud of.
#4. Lekki Smart City Project.
