Ogun State unveiled an investment package for the development of the Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone and the Gateway Deep Seaport. This partnership with DP World, a global logistics operator, involves an investment framework exceeding $7 billion. The proposed deep-sea port would feature a four-kilometer berth and an 18-meter draft, designed to serve as an alternative to the congested Lagos port corridor.
