The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced that the construction of the Badagry deep sea port would begin in June 2022, as soon as the project is ratified in April by the Federal Government.

Sanwo-Olu assured the people of Badagry that his administration is determined to push development to Badagry axis of Lagos State, as well as reiterated the government’s readiness to compensate residents for economic losses on buildings, ancestral lands, farms and sites as a result of the deep seaport.
