The Conseillers du Commerce Exterieur (French Foreign Trade Advisors) has expressed readiness to invest massively in the Lagos Free Zone (LFZ) being developed by the Tolaram Group as they endorsed it as the ideal industrial destination for French businesses in Nigeria.

The Conseillers du Commerce Exterieur made this known last Thursday during a visit to LFZ. The delegation led by the Ambassador of France, Jerome Pasquier, accompanied by his Economic Advisor, the Consulate General of France in Lagos and the Conseillers du Commerce Exterieur, comprising CEOs of several French businesses in Nigeria.

Speaking during the visit, Pasquier explained that the aim of the visit was to discover the opportunities in the LFZ and the Lekki Port project, expected to have a huge positive impact on businesses in the country.

Pasquier commended Tolaram Group, the promoter of the zone, for the foresight of integration of Lekki Port into the master plan of the Lagos Free Zone (LFZ), which would serve as the gateway for import and export from the zone thereby giving businesses in the zone a competitive edge.
