Stakeholders in Nigeria’s maritime sector have stated that the country’s goal of becoming a primary maritime and trade gateway for West and Central Africa depends on a comprehensive, end-to-end modernization of its port facilities. According to industry experts, this transformation must encompass infrastructure upgrades, the integration of digital systems, regulatory reforms, enhanced security measures, and the development of efficient transport connections to the hinterland.
