The Nigerian Shippers Council has said that the Federal Government needs to make a minimum of N100 billion in investments in order to upgrade the infrastructure deficit that currently makes Nigeria’s seaports inefficient and uncompetitive.
The Executive Secretary of the Council, Mr. Hassan Bello noted that the government needs to make a minimum of N10 billion per annum over the next 10 years in order to address the current infrastructural deficit in the industry.
According him, Many port service users have decried the poor infrastructure, especially poor access roads and the total absence of a multi-modal transport system that connects the three major means of transportation comprising rail, road and sea, which currently inhibits efficient port operation in the country.
