Few hours to the official inauguration of the Lekki deep seaport, the port on Sunday received the first commercial container vessel. “Ahead of President’s commissioning of @LekkiPort for commercial operations tomorrow (Monday), one of the largest container vessels, the CMA-CGM, has berthed at the port. Once more, @NigerianPorts has proven that it is prepared to offer marine services for seamless port operations,” the tweet read. The President, Major General Muhammad Buhari, (retd) will on Monday inaugurate the $1.5bn Lekki deep seaport for commercial operations. The Lekki deep seaport is one of the largest seaport in the country and one of the biggest in West Africa that will revolutionise the way goods are transported and traded in Nigeria.
