Challenges in Nigeria’s Logistics Sector and Solutions

[cmsmasters_row][cmsmasters_column data_width=”1/1″][cmsmasters_text]

Nigeria’s logistics sector is a cornerstone of its economy, yet persistent challenges hinder growth and efficiency. From chronic port congestion to rampant cargo theft, businesses lose ₦45 billion annually to preventable disruptions. The Apapa port gridlock alone delays 70% of shipments, while poor road infrastructure inflates transport costs by 30%.

For SMEs, these challenges are magnified. Limited access to technology, opaque pricing, and inadequate warehousing force many to operate on razor-thin margins. A 2023 report by the Nigerian Shippers’ Council revealed that 60% of businesses lack contingency plans for logistics failures, leaving them vulnerable to supply chain collapses.
