Leading logistics and engineering company, Lagos Deep Offshore Logistics (LADOL) has continued to earn more plaudits owing to its commitment to local content through its investment of $500 million into building the only 100 per cent Nigerian private industrial free zone in West Africa.
In continuation of that feat, the company has scored another double honour as it has been recognised by the Oxford Business Group and as well as bagging an award from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo).
According to an Oxford Business Group report, the company under the leadership of Dr. Amy Jadesimi was listed as one of the Nigerian free zones offering a multitude of incentives for investors.
