The push for agro-industrialization in the Lagos-Ogun region is currently in full swing.

Infrastructure

As the Federal Government intensifies its investment in agricultural infrastructure and pushes for an egro-export economy by connecting the Lekki and Remo Free Trade Zones by concrete road and rail, the timing has never been more perfect to belong to a farmers’ community and begin growing food commercially.

Lekki Deep Seaport Access Road: The new road network that changes how Lagos moves.

The Lekki Deep Sea Port Access Road (LDSPAR) network connects several SouthWest agricultural and industrial communities, with the Sagamu-Iebu-Ore-Benin Expressway anchoring this future. thereby unlocking economic activities at scale along the Epe-Ijebu Corridor

The Lekki Deep Seaport Access Road Network forms an extensive network of reinforced concrete pavement roads that stretch from Eleko through Epe and Itoikin to Ikorodu and eventually to the Sagamu-Ore Expressway connecting key infrastructure projects like the Lagos Food Hub, IPRFZ and the Ijebu-Ode Inland Dry Port amongst others.

Construction advances rapidly: The 7th axial road and Araga-Poka-Ketu-Epe corridor already being paved on reinforced concrete

Travel time improves dramatically: By 2028, Ijebu Ode will be just 1 hour from Victoria Island,and 15 mins away from Lekki Free Zone.

Investment value soars: Plots appreciate 40–60% annually, driven by this road network development.

The 7-Axial Road

As the dedicated superhighway evacuating traffic and cargo out of the Lagos Free Zone, Lekki Free Trade Zone, Dangote Refinery, Lekki Port and potentially the Olokola Free Trade Zone, the 7th Axial Road promises tremendous ease of traffic and cargo evacuation activities along this corridor.
