Building the next chapter of Nigeria-India trade through manufacturing and investment.
at the Nigeria-India Export Summit, Adesuwa Ladoja, MD/CEO of Lagos Free Zone, delivered the keynote address and highlighted the opportunity for Indian businesses to build a stronger manufacturing presence in Nigeria, creating products, jobs, and export value for Nigeria, West Africa, and the world.
With Nigeria’s market potential and access to the wider African market, alongside India’s manufacturing and technological capabilities, there is a significant opportunity to build competitive production and export value chains that serve Nigeria, West Africa and global markets.
For businesses, the opportunity is not simply to sell into Nigeria, but to make in Nigeria, developing local supply chains, creating jobs, strengthening industrial capacity and retaining more value within the economy.
At Lagos Free Zone, we are positioned to support this transition with the infrastructure, connectivity and business environment required to turn investment opportunities into factories, jobs and exports.
As the conversation between Nigeria and India continues to evolve, the opportunity is clear: deeper investment, stronger partnerships and more value created together.
