Nigeria Infrastructure Ondo State Multipurpose Deep Seaport Project

The Ondo State Government, through the Ondo Development and Investment Promotion Agency (ONDIPA), has secured approvals to proceed with the development of a $1.3 billion multipurpose deep seaport. The proposed port will support a variety of transcontinental cargo, including roll-on/roll-off (RORO) vessels, bulk cargoes (e.g., bitumen, silica sand, and cement), and offshore oil and gas support. The project will be buoyed by the proposed 30,000 hectares Sunshine Industrial City, with 2,700 hectares approved for a free trade zone. The site is 50 km from Lagos, West Africa’s commercial center. The Port of Ondo offers businesses an alternative to the congested ports in Lagos State, while also providing access to inland Nigeria and neighboring countries.

Project is being executed based on modified Swiss Challenge procurement method. Feasibility studies, environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA), and the outline business case (OBC) stages of the project have been completed.
