Lagos Unveils TY Logistics Park FZE in Alaro City, Strengthening Its Trade Competitiveness

Lagos Unveils TY Logistics Park FZE in Alaro City

Lagos State has launched the TY Logistics Park Free Zone Enterprise (FZE) in Alaro City, adding a major logistics asset to the rapidly expanding Lekki–Epe industrial corridor and reinforcing the state’s position as Nigeria’s foremost investment destination.

The launch, attended by senior government officials and private-sector leaders, marks a significant milestone in Lagos’ long-term strategy to build modern industrial infrastructure, enhance trade efficiency and consolidate the city’s role as a regional logistics hub.

A Strategic Asset in Lagos’ Fast-Growing Industrial Belt

The newly inaugurated logistics park is promoted by TY Holdings, led by General T.Y. Danjuma (Rtd.) and Senator Daisy Danjuma. The project introduces a grade-A, purpose-built logistics facility within Alaro City a location increasingly recognised as a core node in the state’s industrial expansion.

Alaro City sits within the broader Lekki axis, a corridor hosting some of Nigeria’s most consequential economic assets. These include the Lekki Deep Sea Port, the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex, multiple manufacturing clusters, and the planned Lekki–Epe International Airport.

Positioning the logistics park in the midst of these assets is expected to reduce transport inefficiencies, support export-led industries and offer lower turnaround times for cargo handling.

Enhancing Trade Competitiveness Through Infrastructure

The Lagos State Government highlighted that the new logistics park directly aligns with its THEMES+ development agenda, which prioritises infrastructure expansion, mobility enhancement, and improvements to the state’s investment climate.

Industry analysts note that logistics remains one of the largest cost drivers for Nigerian manufacturers and exporters. Best-in-class warehousing and distribution facilities combined with proximity to a deep-sea port and industrial clusters are expected to reduce operational costs for businesses operating in the corridor.

The logistics park also dovetails with federal commitments to improve the movement of goods, particularly through the proposed 7th Axial Road, which will serve as a major artery linking the Lekki Port to key inland trade routes. According to state officials, the road project will form part of a broader effort to strengthen supply-chain reliability from port to hinterland.

Investor Confidence and the Role of Private Capital

The involvement of TY Holdings underscores the growing confidence of domestic institutional investors in Lagos’ industrial strategy. The Danjuma-led investment group has played an increasingly visible role in developing large-scale, commercially viable infrastructure projects.

The state government commended the firm’s commitment, noting that sustained private-sector participation is essential to closing Nigeria’s infrastructure and logistics gaps. Market observers add that purpose-built logistics facilities remain undersupplied across Nigeria, despite rising demand from manufacturers, e-commerce firms, importers, and exporters.

Developments such as the TY Logistics Park FZE are expected to attract additional capital to the corridor as operators seek high-quality, compliant, and scalable logistics infrastructure in proximity to the Port and refinery ecosystem.

Alaro City’s Emergence as an Industrial Destination

Alaro City, a public–private partnership under the Lagos State Government and Rendeavour, has evolved into one of the fastest-growing industrial and mixed-use districts in Nigeria. Its free zone status, master-planned layout, and infrastructure backbone continue to draw a diverse mix of tenants, including manufacturers, logistics operators, fast-moving consumer goods companies, and service providers. The addition of a high-grade logistics facility further enhances its profile and strengthens its integration into Lagos’ broader industrial development blueprint.

Outlook: Strengthening Lagos’ Position as an Investment Hub

The commissioning of the TY Logistics Park FZE marks another step in Lagos’ effort to deliver globally competitive infrastructure capable of supporting large-scale industrial growth.

With major assets such as the Lekki Port, refinery operations, and the forthcoming international airport entering different phases of development, the Lekki–Epe axis is on track to become one of West Africa’s most critical trade corridors.

As Lagos continues to invest in enabling infrastructure and regulatory reforms, the state positions itself to attract deeper private capital flows, boost non-oil exports, and build a more efficient logistics ecosystem that can withstand both domestic and international supply-chain pressures.
