Sanwo-Olu: Sangotedo Agro Food Hub to Be Completed by 2026

The 23,000-square-meter hub will feature storage facilities, trading floors, and parking spaces, designed to improve food accessibility within the corridor.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has assured Lagos residents that the mid-level Agro Food Hub under construction in Sangotedo, Eti-Osa Local Government Area, will be completed and inaugurated by 2026.

The governor made this known via his official X (formerly Twitter) account after inspecting the facility, which is now over 90% complete, with finishing works ongoing.

The 23,000-square-meter hub will feature storage facilities, trading floors, and parking spaces, designed to improve food accessibility within the corridor.

“This hub is part of our broader plan to decentralize food distribution across Lagos,” Sanwo-Olu stated.

He added that similar hubs are being developed in Agege, Lagos Island, Oregun, and Ikorodu, while Epe and Badagry will host additional ones. All hubs will be connected to the main logistics center in Ketu-Ereyun, which serves as the backbone of Lagos’ food distribution network.

Sanwo-Olu stressed that these investments align with the state’s Agricultural Roadmap and the Produce for Lagos initiative, aimed at strengthening food security.

“By this time next year, I expect these hubs will already be improving food access for our residents,” he said.
