Nigeria Customs Approves "Green Channel" for Lekki Free Zone, Boosting Trade Facilitation
The Nigeria Customs Service has granted approval for a "Green Channel" at the Lekki Free Zone (LFZ), enabling seamless movement of cargo to the Lekki Deep Sea Port. This initiative marks a significant milestone in Nigerian trade facilitation, positioning LFZ as the first zone in the country to operate a sanctioned green channel.
The dedicated corridor within LFZ will streamline logistics operations, offering a competitive edge and reducing capital tie-up and truck wait times. Bashir Adeniyi, a key official, highlighted that the Green Channel will enhance customs visibility, improve investor confidence, and solidify LFZ's advantages, including physical and digital integration with the Lekki Deep Sea Port.
This development is expected to revolutionize the operational landscape, making LFZ a more efficient trade hub in the region.
