The Honourable Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, Lagos State Dr. (Mrs.) Lola Akande has implored the 12 host communities on the Badagry Deep Seaport actualisation to appoint a six-man committee as their representative at every meeting with the State government .
The Commissioner called on the communities to come up with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) articulating their requests, complaints and suggestions.
She also assured that the proposed Badagry Deep Seaport may soon commence operations earlier than planned.
The Commissioner revealed this over the weekend at the stakeholders’ meeting organised by the State Government with the members of the host communities as part of the inclusive policy of the present administration as well as to seek their buy-in on the project.
