Snake Island Port reaffirms commitment to provision of world-class infrastructure

Snake Island Port says is committed to the development of world-class port infrastructure which strengthens economic growth in Nigeria, West Africa and further connects Africa with global trade.

Executive Chairman of Snake Island Integrated Free Zone (SIIFZ), Maher Jarmakani, stated this when the governing board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) toured port terminals in Lagos Habour last week.

Maher Jarmakani said “This visit indicates the critical partnership between private entities and government agencies in driving regulatory compliance and operational excellence.  We appreciate the Authority’s continued support for Snake Island Port, as we develop world-class infrastructure which strengthens economic growth in the region and further connects Africa with global trade.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the NPA Governing Board, Sen. Dayo Adeyeye commended Nigerdock and SIIFZ for their efforts in developing the port terminal which, he said, is crucial for the growth of national economy.

“We commend the management of Nigerdock and SIIFZ for their rigorous efforts in developing the terminals through strategic partnerships with global industry players and investment in key infrastructure. This development is crucial for economic advancement, and we are delighted to provide the required support,” said Adeyeye.

In November 2024, Nigerdock and the NPA completed an agreement for the development of Snake Island Port, a green port comprising three terminals. The port is sponsored by Nigerdock and SIIFZ as a Public Private Partnership with the Federal Government.

Located within Lagos Harbour, Snake Island Port is a modern, integrated maritime hub with three terminals providing efficient access to West African and international trade routes. The port combines multi-terminal flexibility with Free Zone advantages to support cargo movement.
