Free On Board (FOB) Goods and Logistics has stated that plans have reached advanced stage to construct a N250 million packaging factory at the Murtala Mohammad Airport (MMA), Lagos.

Mr. Oluwajimi Adebakin, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), FOB in an exclusive interview with our correspondent, stated that it was doing this in partnership with the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) and other international partners.

He emphasised that the factory was aimed at promoting Brand Nigeria, saying that any item, shipment leaving the shores of the country would be properly labelled and packed.

He noted that this would enable the produce, the producer and the nation to be properly showcased on the international scene.

According to him, discussions were already at the final stage with NAHCO towards the commencement of the packaging project, informing that the site for the factory had already been secured.

He explained that, the Brand Nigeria project which he described as a national assignment was being embarked upon to ensure that products exported from Nigeria meet international standards through proper labelling and packaging.

“Yes, our packaging is a major issue, but we are looking at it seriously and we have seeing a situation by latest December, first quarter of 2021 God permitting, it will be a thing of the past. It will not be a question that you don’t have an option for packaging, it will be an option that you have elected not to use the packaging facility that has been made available Free On Board by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) and other stakeholders”, he said.
