The #LAPSSETCorridor holds endless possibilities that would grow economies. From multimillion dollar industries to logistics and services, the ripple effect extends beyond local economies, creating opportunities across the region and the continent. The opportunity is bigger than infrastructure. These are some of the investment opportunities in #Lamu. What will you build? #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote #dangoterefinery

Final preparations are underway, and key officials from the Ministry of Roads and Transport and the #LAPSSET Corridor Development Authority are on the ground ahead of the milestone. The planned 700,000 bpd refinery is set to take shape within the #LAPSSETCorridor, further positioning Lamu as a gateway for energy, industry, trade and investment in the region. The Corridor is opening opportunity, and Infrastructure is meeting investment. #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote #dangoterefinery

Before the Highway, there was a hard way! But by 2017, the #LAPSSET Isiolo-Moyale highway had changed how the North operates. This Road network has not just impacted livelihoods. It has contributed to Regional Integration through the #LAPSSETCorridor. From connecting places, to connecting economies! #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote

Infrastructure is an investment in economic growth. Government investment in #LAPSSET, a strategic infrastructure in Eastern Africa, is promoting Trade and investments that are contributing to high economic growth. As His Excellency Dr. William S. Ruto, C.G.H., said during a LAPSSET Corridor inspection; “We will open up all corners of our country with high-quality infrastructure projects to facilitate trade and regional connectivity, drive economic growth, enhance mobility, and improve access to essential services.” Key investments are already coming in. #LAPSSETCorridor is indeed where infrastructure meets opportunity. #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote

#LAPSSET flagship project #LamuPort has received the MV Da Yang, carrying heavy construction materials that will be utilized in the upcoming Dangote East Africa Refinery project. The vessel sets the stage for the anticipated groundbreaking with 2,930 metric tons of heavy machinery. The Port is is fully prepared to handle current and future cargo volumes, and the Kenya Ports Authority is committed to efficient vessel turnaround, seamless cargo operations and customer-focused services that meet international standards. #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote #dangoterefinery

As the Dangote Refinery project plans to generate power as part of its industrial operations, investments are expected to stream in Lamu and along the #LAPSSETCorridor. The ripple effect? Greater industrial activity, expanded trade and stronger economic linkages from the region to the continent. LAPSSET: Where infrastructure meets opportunity.

The planned #LAPSSET Oil pipeline is a gamechanger for Eastern Africa. Spanning about 1700 KM from Kenya’s Lamu to South Sudan and Ethiopia, the #LAPSSET project is built for what comes next in the region. When access changes, everything changes! #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote

Did you know? Dwelling time for Tran-shipment cargo at the LAPSSET Moyale One Stop Border Post (OSBP) reduced from approximately 4 days in 2017 to 1.5 in 2021! The OSBP also reduced average non-transshipment dwell time by approximately 84%, from 12h 32m in 2017 to just 2 hours in 2021. By bringing border clearance processes together, the OSBP facilitates smoother transit and customs procedures, helping to reduce the time and cost of doing business while supporting more efficient cross-border trade. As part of the #LAPSSETCorridor, the Moyale OSBP strengthens connectivity between Kenya and Ethiopia and supports the movement of people and goods across the region. #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote

The countdown to a historic milestone begins. Today, @lapsset Director General, Mr. Stephen Ikua, MBS, joined the Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki for the final preparatory meeting ahead of the East Africa Refinery ground-breaking in Lamu. This landmark Project will not only strengthen Kenya’s position as a petrochemical industrial hub but also reinforce the #LAPSSETCorridor as a key regional gateway for trade and energy logistics. The transformation of Lamu and the Coastal region at large begins now. #CorridorOfOpportunity #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #Investment #LAPSSETForBusiness #dangote

Scaling up Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and private capital participation is one pathway to unlocking the infrastructure, businesses and productive capacity needed to drive that growth. According to the African Development Bank’s African Economic Outlook 2026, Africa’s real GDP per capita growth is projected at 1.9% in 2026, still below the 3.5% minimum threshold needed to reduce poverty and inequality and enhance inclusive growth. The question, therefore, is not simply how fast Africa can grow, but how we create more opportunities for people and businesses to participate in that growth. This is where strategic infrastructure matters. #LAPSSET is opening up key and strategic regions for development, with many investment opportunities. Closing that gap will require more than public spending. It will require private capital, PPPs and investment in the infrastructure that enables businesses to grow. Are you an investor looking beyond today's opportunities to the markets of tomorrow? The corridor is opening. The opportunity is yours to explore! #LAPSSETCorridor #development #AfricanInfrastructure #StrategicInfrastructure #GlobalTrade

Did you Know? 12 of the 20 fastest-growing economies in the world in 2025 were African, where East Africa maintained its lead as the continent’s fastest-growing region. With development coming in fast in one of Africa’s Key strategic infrastructure, #LAPSSET holds immense opportunities and potential to bring change in the Continent. #RegionalIntegration #AfricanInfrastructure #LAPSSETCorridor #impact #GlobalTrade #investment #Dangote

A 2017 University of Nairobi study of local retail traders in Isiolo found that 69 traders (95.8% of respondents) reported that their revenue generation was influenced by the #LAPSSETCorridor, while 9 traders (12.5%) reported profit increases of more than 50%. The #LAPSSETCorridor has seen over 4000 direct employment by 2016 during key initial construction and in 2024, over 90 local dockers were employed permanently. The Corridor has since then impacted trade across counties, creating a ripple effect across communities and local economies. #RegionalIntegration #AfricanInfrastructure #GlobalTrade #traders #impact
