“The third project will be the Lekki-Epe Airport, which will open up the entire free trade zone region. We have gotten Federal Government’s approval and we will be working with a few partners. We are building the largest food logistics hub in the entire sub-saharan Africa and Afreximbank is excited in this and what it does to the economy,” he said. Sanwo-Olu assured that these projects would be completed and inaugurated before the expiration of his administration’s second tenure. We will ensure that we will have the ability to carry on these projects concurrently so that before the end of our second tenure inaugurate and hand over some of these projects,” the governor said. Also speaking, the Group Managing Director of Access Holdings, Mr Herbert Wigwe, said the fund was local currency with a very significant tenor to ensure that there was appropriate financing option for the development of Lagos state. “The whole idea is to decongest Lagos, improve the infrastructure, to support the generation of increased Internally Generated Revenue of Lagos and continue to spur the growth in its GDP,” Wigwe said.
