Nigeria’s Snake Island Port has reaffirmed its commitment to port infrastructure development and economic advances.
Speaking during a familiarisation tour of its terminals in Lagos Harbour by the governing board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), the Executive Chairman of Snake Island Integrated Free Zone, Maher Jarmakani said: “This visit indicates the critical partnership between private entities and government agencies in driving regulatory compliance and operational excellence.
“We appreciate the authority’s continued support for Snake Island Port, as we develop world-class infrastructure which strengthens economic growth in the region and further connects Africa with global trade.”
In his remarks, the Chairman of the NPA governing board, Dayo Adeyeye, commended the management of Nigerdock and SIIFZ for their rigorous efforts in developing the terminals through strategic partnerships with global industry players and investment in key infrastructure.
“This development is crucial for economic advancement, and we are delighted to provide the required support,” he said.
It will be recalled that in 2024, Nigerdock and the NPA signed an agreement for the development of Snake Island Port, a green port comprising three terminals. The port is sponsored by Nigerdock and SIIFZ as a public-private partnership with the Federal Government.
Located within Lagos Harbour, Snake Island Port is a modern, integrated maritime hub with three terminals providing efficient access to West African and international trade routes. The port combines multi-terminal flexibility with Free Zone advantages to support cargo movement.
