DP World, a global leader in smart logistics solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group, a prominent Nigerian conglomerate. This collaboration aims to strengthen supply chains, improve the movement of goods, and unlock new growth opportunities in Nigeria and across West Africa.
The Strategic Partnership
The partnership between DP World and TGI Group was formalized on October 1, 2026, when TGI Group’s subsidiary, 22 Plus Invest Limited, agreed to acquire a 43% stake in DP World Logistics Limited, DP World’s Nigerian logistics entity. This acquisition is subject to regulatory approval, with DP World retaining the majority shareholding. The collaboration combines DP World’s global logistics and supply chain expertise with TGI Group’s strong market presence, extensive distribution network, and operational experience. Initially focused on Nigeria, the partnership also creates a platform for expansion across West Africa.
