The Lekki Free Zone Development Company (LFZ) is in discussions with Gluwa, a blockchain technology company, as part of an effort to increase its economic impact in Nigeria. The two parties are looking to collaborate and use blockchain to promote trade cooperation, business growth, and sustainability among new and existing Free Zone enterprises. In addition, the partnership would look into developing a virtual free zone inside the Lekki free zone.
Mr Tomiwa Idowu, the head of strategy, innovation, and special projects at Lekki Free Zone, revealed that discussions between LZF, the Nigerian Export Processing Zones Authority, and the Gluwa team are in progress.
Idowu said in a statement that the partnership, when it is complete, will work similarly to the integration of OpenSea and Compound by developing a dashboard for the tokenization of goods into NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and offering digital asset-backed loans for new and existing businesses looking to fund operations and/or expand their operations.
Idowu explained his plan to modernize the industrial and trading sector in Nigeria and Africa, with the Lekki Free Zone as the centre of this transformation.
ທ່ານ Idowu ກ່າວວ່າ “ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຕື່ນເຕັ້ນທີ່ສຸດຕໍ່ຄວາມສາມາດບົ່ມຊ້ອນອັນໃຫຍ່ຫຼວງຂອງການຮ່ວມມືດັ່ງກ່າວ, ເຊິ່ງຈະສ້າງລັດ Lagos ໃຫ້ເປັນປະເທດອະນຸຊາດຊັ້ນນຳຂອງອາຟຣິກາໃນດ້ານການປະດິດສ້າງ, ການພັດທະນາເສດຖະກິດ ແລະ ການສ້າງລາຍຮັບ.

“All trades will be registered and benefit from the incentives of the Lekki Free Zone, such as zero taxation and free circulation of goods. As soon as the goods get settled for export by the in-Zone Customs Processing Center, they will get shipped out straight from the Lekki Free Zone via the deep-sea port. This will reduce delays, eliminate human errors, exponentially drive up Nigeria’s non-oil exports and sustain a positive trade balance for the nation. While we are still working out the fine details and a specific framework with NEPZA, we believe it is the future of commerce and trade in Africa.”
