Apapa, Port settlement in Lagos, Nigeria.
The Lagos Port Complex spans across Apapa with multiple terminals handling containers, bulk cargo, and petroleum products through modern loading facilities and deep water berths.
The port's development began in 1913 with the construction of four deep water berths in 1921, establishing Lagos as a primary commercial shipping destination.
The discovery of a bronze jewelry collection from the 16th century in Apapa 1907 revealed the area's connection to historical trade networks.
The port operates continuously with advanced security systems, including CCTV surveillance and armed personnel, ensuring efficient cargo handling throughout the day.
The port area contains factories producing sugar, salt, and flour, while eight specialized jetties handle different types of cargo within the complex.
