Lekki Port LFTZ Enterprise Limited, the developer of the Lekki Deep Sea Port Project, and China Harbour Engineering LFTZ Enterprise (CHELE) have donated food items to the host communities.

The Deep Sea Port project currently under construction is at the Lagos Free Trade Zone, Ibeju Lekki.

The firms said it is part of their Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Relations programmes.

The food items were distributed to the six host communities of Itoke, Magbon-Segun, Idotun, Lujagba, Okesegun and Lekuru at the project site to cushion the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on the people of the communities.

While assuring them of the commitment of Lekki Port and CHELE to continue to do everything possible to support the host communities, he urged the community leaders to ensure that the food items are distributed to reach every household within their communities.

Speaking on behalf of all the community leaders, the Baale of Idotun Community, Chief Waheed Tubeko, commended the company for the kind gesture and prayed for the successful completion of the project for the benefit of the company, the communities and humanity at large.
