Having the deepest port in Nig will improve traffic flow in the Apapa corridor, lower freight costs & ultimately lower trading costs. For us @NigerianPorts , we intend to take advantage of this to recapture transshipment & transit cargoes that would typically call at nearby ports.

We will however not relent on our core mandate — trade facilitation; easing gridlock in the ports corridors, and encouraging the full utilization of the Eastern Ports. Our vision is to have a fully automated port system that will fit into the global port standards.
