The Lagos State Government has embarked on the construction of the largest Food Security Systems and Central Logistics Park in sub-Saharan Africa.


The facility is being built on 1.2 million square metres of land in Ketu-Ereyun, Epe and it is an important component of the five-year Agricultural and Food Systems Road Map (2021–2025) launched in 2021 by the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to enhance food sufficiency in Lagos.

When completed, the hub will create direct wealth for more than five million traders in the agricultural value chain, while guaranteeing uninterrupted food supplies to more than 10 million Lagosians, at least 90 days, in a period of scarcity.

The hub will have storage facilities for more than 1,500 trucks that will daily service the needs of thousands of operators within food value chain throughout the year, while large commercial transactions would be processed in the facility.

It is projected that the Park will unleash the potential in both the upstream and downstream of the agricultural sector.
