Nigeria’s Exports Rise 25% in Two Years, NPA Says

Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Managing Director Abubakar Dantsoho said at the IAPH World Ports Conference in London that Nigeria’s exports had increased by 25% in two years. The growth includes manufactured and agricultural goods such as cocoa and cashew, and the authority attributed it to federal reforms and stronger collaboration with port operators. The NPA has established about four Export Processing Terminals to improve export cargo documentation and handling. Dantsoho also said port revenue had quadrupled and that two Nigerian ports ranked among the top 20 in the World Bank’s latest global ports ranking.
