According to Wikipedia, a Free Trade Zone is a geographic area where goods may be imported, stored, handled, manufactured, or reconfigured and re-exported under specific customs regulations and are generally not subject to customs duty. It is a region where a group of countries have agreed to reduce or eliminate trade barriers, the basic objective being to enhance foreign exchange earnings, develop export-oriented industries and generate employment opportunities for the host country.
The Lekki Free Trade Zone was started during the administration of the former Governor of Lagos state, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and is managed by the Lekki Free Zone Development Company.
The LFTZ covers a total area of about 155 square kilometres in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area, southeast of Lagos, Nigeria, about 50km from the city center.
It is 70 kilometres from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport and 10 kilometres from the proposed Lekki international airport. The zone is also located 50 kilometres away from Apapa Port, the largest port in West Africa. Moreover, the new Lagos International Airport is only about 10km from LFTZ.
