Key Developments

Proposed as technical partner, financing facilitator and EPC contractor for the Lagos Green Line rail (68km, Marina-Lekki Free Trade Zone) under a PPP structure with LAMATA and MOFI; previously delivered the Lekki Deep Sea Port in Nigeria.

Key Risks

Parent company CCCC was debarred by the World Bank from 2011 to 2019 over fraudulent bidding practices on a Philippines roads project; this history is a relevant due-diligence consideration for any new multilateral-adjacent financing involving CHEC.
