Nigeria’s flagship Lekki Deep Sea Port is firing on all cylinders, reaching half its designed operational capacity since September 2025 with surging 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) monthly—shipping lines and cargo bosses piling in thanks to slick ops at the nation’s first such mega-hub.
MD Wang Qiang shared the milestone at Tuesday’s Lagos media parley, spotlighting barge evacuations now hauling 10% of cargo alongside multimodal links; LFT MD Capt. Jedrzej Mierzewski hyped the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road for decongestion and rail dreams to fan out goods from the booming Lekki corridor—pushing full digital sync across customs, terminals and players to slash dwell times in this automated beast.
World-class tours of scanners, exams and 24/7 clearance prove Lekki’s primed to double throughput sans expansion—unlocking Nigeria’s trade superpower status if stakeholders nail connectivity and digitization.
