Lekki Port has welcomed a new shipping alliance aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s maritime sector, improving trade flows, and enhancing the country’s position as a key logistics hub in Africa.
The partnership is expected to increase shipping connectivity, support more efficient cargo movement, and provide businesses with improved access to international markets.
Port authorities said the collaboration aligns with efforts to maximise the potential of Lekki Port by attracting more vessels, expanding trade capacity, and improving supply chain efficiency.
