A Chinese firm, Longrich Production Company, has expressed its readiness to inject additional $100 million worth investment to the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
The proposed $100 million investment, which would come to fruition this year, is an additional financial commitment by the company to the zone following an earlier investment worth $20 million injected by the company for the construction of its plants and offices in the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
With this $120 million worth investment, Longrich is set to key into the Nigerian economy, create more than 1,000 jobs and boost the nation’s foreign exchange earnings.
