In Nigeria, one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Africa has been completed and officially opened by President Muhammadu Buhari. The Lekki Deep Sea Port facility is the country’s deepest sea port - built at a cost of $1.5bn. It aims to boost economic activity not only in Nigeria but across the wider West Africa region. Sam Egube, the Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget in Lagos State, told Newsday the new port will be three times more efficient that the old one, which drove the expansion of the city.
