The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has adopted multimodal means of transportation encompassing the use of Rail, Road, and Inland Water to move export cargoes to cope with the surge into Apapa terminal.
Export of agricultural and solid minerals has increased steadily in the last three years rising by 33 percent in 2023 above the 2022 figure.
Head of Corporate and Strategic Communication, Sarah Ballah, said there are no trapped export containers in the ports.
She said the upsurge in export is evident in the huge increase of 33 percent export in 2023 over the 2022 figure.“Due to the surge in numbers, the Authority intensified the use of multi-modalism, by encouraging Rail, Road, and Inland Water movement of export cargo in the Apapa terminal.
