The Nigerian Ports Authority says it is expanding export channels and addressing logistics bottlenecks to help Nigerian businesses reach overseas buyers.
Managing director Abubakar Dantsoho outlined the plans at the Abuja International Trade Fair, according to Voice of Nigeria. He said inland dry ports could bring clearance and documentation services closer to exporters away from the coast.
The authority also pointed to export-processing terminals intended to combine sorting, packaging, certification and customs procedures before cargo reaches the port.
The stated aim is to broaden non-oil exports and strengthen foreign-exchange earnings. For businesses, delivery times, charges and the availability of these services will matter more than announcements alone. The source report describes the authority’s plans and claimed progress; it does not provide an independent assessment of the savings achieved by every exporter.
