TY Logistics Park to Redefine Nigeria’s Supply Chain Network

TY Logistics Park FZE is set to reshape Nigeria’s logistics landscape with the rollout of a 29,000-square-metre Grade-A logistics hub in the Lekki Free Zone, the first such facility in West Africa.

Built to global standards, the hub offers a 44,000-pallet capacity, full customs integration, advanced digital warehousing and end-to-end third-party logistics services, positioning it as a critical enabler for efficient regional trade.

An executive of the company said the project marks a decisive break from the chronic inefficiencies that have long undermined Africa’s supply chain performance. The official noted that businesses across the continent continue to suffer losses from delivery delays, broken cold chains and missed shelf dates, stressing that the new park was designed to eliminate these systemic failures.

Engineered for speed and precision, the hub will process palletised goods in as little as 15 to 20 minutes, a drastic cut from the current four-hour average, while non-palletised cargo will be completed within 45 to 90 minutes. Inventory will enter the system within minutes, supported by real-time reporting and instant availability for sale or cross-docking. The facility’s specialised handling equipment will achieve putaway rates of up to 40 pallets per hour.

With bonded and temperature-controlled storage, smart racking, CCTV-monitored operations, automated docking, integrated fleet logistics and multimodal export/import processing, the park is designed to support a full spectrum of industries.

Its location near the Lekki Deep Sea Port and the emerging airport corridor provides unmatched access to domestic distribution routes and coastal trade channels.

Nigeria’s logistics market, currently valued at more than $15 billion, has long been constrained by high operating costs and storage inefficiencies. World Bank data indicates that weak infrastructure adds up to 40 per cent extra cost for Nigerian businesses.

TY Logistics Park aims to close this gap by offering a modern, scalable backbone for sectors including FMCG, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, retail, manufacturing and oil and gas.

The facility is EDGE-certified, solar-ready and powered by energy-efficient systems. Workforce development programmes and academic partnerships are being lined up to strengthen capacity. Full operations are scheduled for the third quarter of 2025, with client onboarding already underway.

According to the company, Africa has never lacked ambition — only the infrastructure required to unlock it, and the new logistics park is positioned to deliver that long-needed foundation.
