Why Nigeria Port charges must drop — Usman
Usman, who is Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Coordination and Head of the Central Delivery Coordination Unit, said port modernisation should not be measured by the amount invested in infrastructure alone, but by its impact on cargo movement, turnaround time, logistics costs and the country’s export capacity.
Usman also advocated the publication of an annual Port Economic Performance Report containing measurable indicators such as vessel and truck turnaround times, cargo-handling productivity, equipment availability, Customs clearance, total logistics costs, digital transactions, export connectivity, customer satisfaction and dispute-resolution timelines.
Usman urged maritime journalists to intensify their accountability role by tracking port performance, investigating the actual cost of cargo movement and benchmarking Nigerian ports against competing African gateways.
