📜 History

Ibeju-Lekki was created in 1991 from parts of the old Epe LGA. For decades it was sparsely populated with small fishing and farming communities. The declaration of the Lekki Free Trade Zone in 2006 marked the turning point, attracting hundreds of billions in foreign direct investment. The Dangote Refinery, which has a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, broke ground in 2016 and is now transforming not just the LGA but the entire Nigerian petroleum sector.
