A new model city is to be carved out at Lekki penissular, a Lagos suburb 50KM from city center, it also doubles as Free Trade zone.

The city to be built by Chinese investors.

This is a clear message that there is more to Lagos, Nigeria than the general negative perception about this city.

Chinese investors are positioning to tap into emerging opportunities of this promising city.

I did not think Lekki is 50km from the city centre - then again, Lagos is abt 50 times the physical size of Nairobi with 20 millionm inhabitants (half out population). I recall it was no more than a 10 minute ride from Victoria Island...

Greetings to you Mzee @Djinn ,

Point of correction, the Lekki you know is the upscale area close to Victoria Island and Ikoyi under Eti Osa local government area. A new city cannot be created from an existing one. It is always created from the suburb.

The Lekki free tree zone is carved out of a sleepy fishing / farming settlement in Akodo town 50Km from Marina which is the city center. Akodo town is off Epe express way. It is under Ibeju-Lekki local govt area.

Lekki is a big area the Lekki you know is the high brow periphery of Victoria Island but beyond that the next 65 Km is part of Lekki but a suburb.

Had it been you watched the attached videos you would have seen this details.

Your 2 cents was actually two cents, I am giving you a multi million dollar information as a Nigerian and as an insider/resident I have lived and worked in Lagos for the past 23 years.

Please be aware that Lagos had about 14 Million inhabitants (2006 Census) not 20 Million.

I reckon you only visited Lagos/Victoria Island, Upscale Lekki (Lekki Phase 1)


Best Regards.

Thanks for the clarification. My two cents have appreciated...I'll be sure to keep my eyes open when I travel there in the next two weeks weeks...
