Can Ogun’s Remo Free Trade Zone Challenge Lagos as an Industrial Hub?

Ogun State is positioning the Remo Free Trade Zone near Sagamu as a major manufacturing and logistics hub, with more than $400 million reportedly committed to the project. The zone is expected to offer dedicated power, industrial facilities and access to the Lagos-Ibadan and Sagamu-Benin transport corridors. Its proximity to the Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport could also strengthen cargo movement and supply chains. As land and logistics costs rise in Lagos, can Ogun attract enough factories and investment to become Nigeria’s leading industrial alternative?

Challenging Lagos is a big claim; facilities and road access are promising, but businesses will judge the zone by consistent delivery.

The project should publish clear timelines for power, factory space, logistics links, and operating costs so investors can compare options properly.
