The Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to increasing food security and infrastructure development from its current 18% to over 50% during a working visit to the Lagos Central Food Security Systems and Logistics Park known as LHP in Ketu, Ereyun in Epe.
This transformative project, championed by Origin Tech Group, is set to become the largest food logistics hub in Africa and the second largest globally, after the iconic Rungis International Market in France.
The groundbreaking 220-hectare facility, initiated less than two years ago, promises to revolutionise Lagos’ food ecosystem by improving accessibility, stabilising market prices, and reducing post-harvest losses.
Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that the first phase of the project is slated for completion by the second quarter of 2025, emphasising his administration’s commitment to the project in view of its critical role in safeguarding the state’s food supply and security.
He stated the dates for the completion of the project during a working visit with members of the state executive council, the leadership and members of the Lagos state Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems led by its Commissioner, Abisola Olusanya, government officials and journalists to the Food Logistics hub in the Ketu-Ereyun, in the Epe division of Lagos state.
