The Lagos Free Zone (LFZ) has been named the best investment hub for Nordic businesses in Nigeria. This was revealed by Adesuwa Ladoja, CEO of LFZ, at the Nordic Nigeria Connect 2025 event in Lagos.
Why Nordic Companies Should Choose LFZ
Ladoja said the Zone offers a structured and predictable business environment, unlike other areas where investors face regulatory and infrastructure issues.
She noted that the Zone’s integrated deep-sea port makes import and export processes faster and easier. With planned rail and road connections, logistics will become even more efficient.
“Our goal is to give investors a one-stop platform where all regulators and services are located within the Zone,” Ladoja explained.
Reforms Boost Investor Confidence
Ladoja praised the Tinubu administration’s reforms, including the fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification, saying they have made Nigeria’s economy more transparent and market-driven.
“These policies have restored investor confidence,” she said. “Stable currency, lower interest rates, and a young, creative population make Nigeria ready for new investments.”
Nordic Strengths Match Nigeria’s Priorities
Ladoja added that Nordic expertise in clean energy, digital innovation, and sustainable manufacturing aligns with Nigeria’s growth goals.
“The Nordic region’s leadership in renewable energy and responsible business fits perfectly with our development plans,” she said.
the Lagos Free Zone covers 860 hectares and is Nigeria’s first private special economic zone. It is the only zone integrated with the Lekki Deep-Sea Port, offering seamless access to regional and global markets.
With world-class infrastructure and a one-stop regulatory window, LFZ continues to attract global investors seeking growth and stability in West Africa.
