The Memorandum of Understanding and Joint Participation in the Grain Terminal Project in the Port of Lekki, Nigeria, was signed by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine and the international organization Lagos Free Zone (Tolaram Group) in London, according to the ministry's press service. On behalf of Ukraine, the document was signed by First Deputy Minister Taras Vysotsky.

In order to assure the ongoing, uninterrupted supply of Ukrainian agricultural products to Nigeria and the entire African continent, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy will work with the Lagos Free Zone Company to build the necessary infrastructure.

The major objective, according to Vysotsky, is to achieve food security in the areas that most urgently need it. In light of the fact that population worldwide is increasing, he continued, the agricultural industry in Ukraine continues to be crucial in maintaining global food security. Nigeria's Lekki Deep Sea Port is the nation's first entirely automated port. The Lagos free zone's owner, Tolarams Group (Singapore), and the governments of Nigeria and Lagos State collaborated on this initiative.
