The Nigerian Economic Zones Association (NEZ Association) was established on the 17th of September 2020 with the main objective of providing a common platform for interaction amongst free zone/special economic zone operators and their relevant stakeholders in Nigeria.
The concept was birthed following several consultations with free zone operators, the current NEPZA management, and other stakeholders, where a consensus was reached on the need for a common platform and voice through which all matters relating to effective zone operations are handled.
The association seeks to speak with one voice towards the protection of investments whilst deepening the understanding of the free zone concept in the development of Nigeria in line with the Federal Government’s vision of ensuring industries within the free zones is competitive and profitable for foreign direct investment, job creation, and technology transfer.
