2 Nigeria Logistics Infrastructure
Nigeria has relatively advanced transport infrastructure networks that cover extensive areas of the nation’s territory. Although overall transport infrastructure is inadequate, the country has made progress over the course of 2017 and 2018 in alleviating urban congestion, investing in critical infrastructure projects and increasing private sector participation in the development of transport arteries.
Due to its abundant petroleum revenues, Nigeria is better placed than many of its African neighbours to increase the share of fiscal resources going to infrastructure. The Government has also been advocating the increasing use of public-private partnerships for several transport projects.
Air Transport
According to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCA) Nigeria is home to 20 airports, 23 active domestic airlines and it is served by 22 foreign carriers. Two of its largest airports are Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) in Abuja; the former accounts for over 60% of total passenger and aircraft movements. Calabar, Kano and Port Harcourt are also home to international airports.
Ports
Nigeria is home to 853km of Atlantic Ocean coastline spanning seven southern states.
After a comprehensive reform of the port sector, beginning in 2000, the ports have undergone a major overhaul with operational management being converted to a landlord model. In the 10 years since 2006, as a result of public-private partnerships (PPPs) Deloitte reports that terminal operators made a combined N200bn ($646.6m) of investment in new port infrastructure Major outlays included rubber-tyred gantry cranes, mobile harbour cranes, trucks, buildings, quays, inland container depots, terminal lighting, automated tracking systems, generators, plants and machinery. A number of key challenges remain, and there is also a need to improve both marine and landside access to ports.
Rail
Nigeria’s railway network is dilapidated and vastly underutilised. The Nigerian Rail Corporation (NRC) reports that the current network is comprised of eight lines, 3505km route of 1067-mm lines, as well as a 19km, 1067-mm gauge extension from Port Harcourt to the deepsea Onne Port, and 277km of standard, 1435-mm gauge track running between Ajaokuta and Warri via Itakpe.
In August 2017, the federal government announced it had begun a $41bn railway expansion plan aiming to boost economic diversification by improving shipping networks between seaports and the interior. The government plans to build two new railway lines: an 1100km line connecting its two largest cities, Lagos and the northern city of Kano, which will carry freight and passengers, as well as a coastal railway connecting Lagos to Calabar in the east.
Roads
Roads are the mainstay of Nigeria’s transport network. Nigeria has developed an extensive national network of roads and bridges. Nigeria’s roads carry more than 90 percent of domestic passengers and freight. Road network conditions are generally quite patchy, alternating between good, fair and poor across the country. Few areas remain unconnected to national backbones, and those are generally concentrated in the central, western and eastern parts of the country. Nigeria’s regional connections are fair, with a number of transnational corridors. These include connections to neighbouring countries like Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin, as well as coastal roads joining routes to Dakar in Senegal or Abidjan in Cote d’Ivoire. The Trans-Sahara Highway connects Nigeria with Algeria via Niger. A cross-African route, the Lagos Mombasa Highway, links Nigeria, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the DRC, Uganda and Kenya. The country has adopted several important measures aimed at boosting private investment in the roads sector, including a tax incentives scheme and the establishment of new toll booths on major highways.
2.1 Nigeria Port Assessment
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) is a federal government agency that governs and operates the ports of Nigeria. Since the year 2000 the NPA, on behalf of the government, has led a process of port privatization and management concessions. This has resulted in improved management, increased capital expenditure on handing equipment, technologies and facilities with a resultant improvement in overall productivity and efficiency.
Nigeria has six major ports controlled by the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), they include: the Lagos Port Complex and Tin Can Island Port in Lagos; Calabar Port, Delta Port (Warri), Rivers Port at Port Harcourt, and Onne Port.
The ports of Warri, Onne, Port Harcourt and Calabar are multi-purpose facilities located in one the world’s largest crude oil production regions, the Niger delta, and their emphasis is on support of this sector. As they continue to invest in infrastructure, expanding their services and levels of operation, there is potential to further utilize these ports to alleviate the congestion at the Lagos port complex.
Lagos is the main point of entry for Nigeria’s import and export commodity trade.
The Lagos Port complex is severely hampered by bottlenecks caused by traffic gridlock due to on-going access road rehab works and due to the large numbers of trucks entering and exiting the port facilities.
Multiple checkpoints in front of the port and environs further add to delays and the congestion issues.
2.1.1 Nigeria Port of Apapa Quays (Lagos)
Port Overview
The Lagos Port Complex also referred to as Premiere Port (Apapa Quays) is the earliest and largest Port in Nigeria. It is situated in Apapa, Lagos State, the commercial centre of Nigeria.
The Lagos Port Complex has five (5) private Terminals and eight (8) jetties. The Terminal Operators are:
- AP Moller Terminal Ltd. (APMT),
- ENL Consortium Ltd. (ENL),
- Apapa Bulk Terminal Ltd. (ABTL),
- Greenview Development Nigeria Ltd. (GNDL)
- Lilypond Inland Container Terminal.
The Port has two (2) Logistics bases:
- Eko Support Services Ltd. and
- Lagos Deep Offshore Logistics (LADOL).
It is registered as an ISPS certified Port facility and offers 24hrs operation. All operational areas are guarded by both armed and unarmed security personnel, as well as with Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).
The Apapa Port is well equipped with modern cargo handling equipment and personnel support facilities. It has intermodal connection – rail (to 1 terminal), water and road, however road transport is by far the dominant method. This results in bottlenecks caused by traffic gridlock due to the large numbers of trucks entering and exiting the port facilities and parked on access roads waiting call up.
Military and paramilitary checkpoints close to the ports and environs further add to delays and the congestion issues.
The Terminal has the added advantage of APM Terminals’ Lilypond Inland Container Depot (ICD) located just 4 km from the port. Covering an area of 120,000 m2 it provides an additional capacity of 7,000 TEUs.
Sugar, salt and flour are produced in factories belonging to operators within the port.

Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is the regulatory body for aviation in Nigeria. Under the Civil Aviation Act 2006 the authority is empowered to regulate Aviation Safety and also to carry out oversight functions of Airports, Airspace, Meteorological Services, etc. as well as economic regulations of the industry.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is a service organization statutorily charged to manage all Commercial Airports in Nigeria and provide services to both passenger and cargo airlines.
The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) transport infrastructure programme emphasises aviation development, calling on the government to establish fast-track completion of new airport cargo and passenger handling terminals to boost total annual capacity from 208,424 tonnes of cargo and 15m passengers, to hit 276,848 tonnes and 45m air passengers by 2020.
The government is currently undertaking several major airport projects to meet its ERGP targets, including building new airport terminals at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Kano, Enugu and Port Harcourt, as well as a planned new airport in Lekki, Lagos. China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) will construct the four new terminals under a N153bn ($494.6m) agreement signed with the federal government in July 2014.
There are numerous national and international carriers operating in Nigeria. Overall national capacity is adequate.
Nigeria has one of the world’s highest number of private aircraft (jets), both local and foreign registered. There is a significant commercial helicopter fleet based in the south of the country supporting the oil and gas sector.
The most significant constraint is security, in the northeastern region of the country. Aircraft operating out of Maiduguri airport will require war insurance.
Some airports have international in their title though the availability of international flights should be checked. Apart from airports, Nigeria also has a number of scattered runways and airfields located throughout the whole country. The majority of them are owned by Nigeria military forces and some oil enterprises. In general, Nigeria has 26 airports, 5 among them international.

2.2.1 Nigeria Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja
Airport Overview
The airport consists of an international and a domestic terminal. Both terminals share the same runway. Runway refurbishment was completed in 2017.
It is the second busiest airport in Nigeria. It has presently terminal A, B, C and D for international and domestic operations. Recently, terminal E has been opened for international operations but not completed.
It also has the presidential wing with a taxiway linking the runway, presidential chalet, presidential lounge, presidential hangar, general aviation terminal for VIPs, cargo/pilgrim’s terminal, cargo warehouse and hangars. The apron expansion work is ongoing and as such poses constraints to airlines as regards aircraft parking for ramp activities.
There are no other major concerns or issues that commonly affect operators and customers.

The majority of incoming shipments are diplomatic and aid cargo such as pharmaceuticals donated by countries and humanitarian groups and construction materials mostly by Julius Berger. The current capacity is very small compared with Lagos airport.
A major constraint is limited covered storage for large volume cargos. Outdoor storage requires covers/tarpaulins in rainy season.

Airport Overview
Maiduguri Airport was established in 1950. It was closed for some time due to security threats. It is the present Nigerian Air Force Headquarters, Borno State.
Although recognized as an international airport, all but a handful of annual flight volumes are domestic. The only contributor to international flight volume is for Hajj (annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca), therefore there are no permanent customs or immigration services.

It is the hub for all humanitarian air traffic in Nigeria.
The Nigerian military co-manages this airport.
Significant security issues exist.

2.3 Nigeria Road Network
Nigeria has the largest road network in West Africa. According to the Government Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, Nigeria has about 195,000 km of road network of which about 60,000 km are paved (2019).
Most of the major road networks were constructed in the 80s and early 90s. As a result of poor maintenance and low-quality materials used for repairs, the condition of roads is deteriorating. Travelling is very difficult, and sometimes almost impossible in many areas on secondary roads during the raining season due to potholes and eroded, uneven surfaces.
Nigeria’s most important highways run from South to North and were designed to bring produce from the hinterlands to the coast for export and to link the economies of old Northern and Southern Nigeria. These highways are labelled the A1, A2, A3 and A4. All other major roads in the country originate from these four.
In its 2018 budget the Government allocated N295 billion ($ 819mil) for road capital works and maintenance so there are ongoing programs to upgrade and maintain these main thoroughfares.

Road Security
There is a high level of insecurity on Nigerian roads once outside metropolitan areas, with many reports of armed criminals stopping travellers resulting in robbery and kidnappings. The risk is particularly high after dark and on secondary roads where traffic is forced to slow down as a result of poor surface conditions.
Local risk status should be checked with trusted official security forces before attempting road travel and armed escorts are required in many areas as a result of criminal activity.
There is a constant risk of collision as a result of poor road conditions and repair works that result in traffic changing lanes without warning and turning single lane expressways into 2-way traffic at any time.
Numerous police checkpoints can add considerably to travel times and all documentation relating to vehicles and passengers should be in order and carried to avoid further delays at these checkpoints.

Daily Capacity
Trucks and cars use the same lane. Trucks generally park and wait in a separate layby lane until dark when Nigerian truck drivers prefer to travel. Daily average for trucks through the border is 55 trucks (50 Benin to Nigeria, 5 Nigeria to Benin). There is little formality for cars or pedestrians crossing the border and most inspections of cars entering Nigeria are carried out on the many formal and informal checkpoints present for the first 15 km on the road to Lagos.
Customs Clearance
Importation of humanitarian goods: For more information on customs in Nigeria, please see the following link: 1.3 Nigeria Customs Information
Exportation of humanitarian goods: the requirements are Packing list, Commercial Invoice, Waybill and Export Permit from Customs. Some Items may also require approval from the Presidency.
Other Relevant Information
For trucks leaving Nigeria, provided all papers are in order, waiting time is generally less than 1 hour to obtain clearance to cross the border into Benin.
For trucks entering Nigeria, Customs operate an electronic scanner that will facilitate clearance in less than an hour. In the event it is not operating manual inspections may take up to 2 hours. There is no delay on the Benin side.
While trucks attract official attention, cars and pedestrians cross the border at will with little or no attention from customs or immigration.

2.3.2 Nigeria Ngala Land Border Crossing
Overview
The border is busy with no particular obstacles. It is operated by the Nigeria Customs Service. Updates on road conditions and accessibility should be obtained from the local office of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). At time of writing (June 2019) all trucks to the border were required to travel the road from Maiduguri to the border in escorted convoy with an overnight stopover in Gajibo before travelling to the border, where the commercial trucks enter a bonded area and their Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) issued by customs in Maiduguri are checked by the military before travelling the remaining short distance to cross the border. Trucks carrying humanitarian cargo go through a similar process.
There is no fuel available at the border or en route. There is very little secure storage available at the border.
Accommodation may be available for registered humanitarian agencies at the UN humanitarian Hub: www.humanitarianbooking.wfp.org

2.3.3 Nigeria Katsina Land Border Crossing
Overview
Available facilities are examination bay, scanning machine and generating plant to power the scanning machines. There are no obstacles as long as the vehicle document is correct.
Traffic is relatively heavy especially on market days. All vehicles use the same lane. Traffic leaving and entering approximately the same.
Customs clearance is for cargo or merchandize goods. This involves examination to determine whether what is being carried corresponds to the cargo declaration in quantity and value.
These goods are generally in 2 categories:
- Heavy-duty trucks and trailers
- Cars and light vehicles with small quantities of goods for petty traders.
The former requires Form M application and presentation of Single Goods Declaration (SGD) as evidence of payment of duty. The latter are assessed by valuation unit at the HQ and given a specific amount to pay as duty depends on the type of goods and the type of vehicle used for conveyance. The carriers also require laissez passer if it’s a foreign registered vehicle. This involves a bond to make sure that after discharging the vehicle comes back and crosses to the other side.
The only waiting time is the time it takes to finish examination. The examination is conducted jointly with other relevant government agencies.

2.4 Nigeria Railway Assessment
Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) is the state-owned enterprise with exclusive rights to operate railways in Nigeria.
Up until 2012 Nigeria's rail system consisted of 3,505 km of 3 ft. 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge lines and 479 km of standard gauge lines. Track condition limited trains to a speed of 35 km/h and services were unreliable, however successive governments since then have upgraded and modernized some of the countries rail infrastructure.
Projects completed
In July 2016 the Itakpe – Ajaokuta – Warri Railway Standard Gauge project, which was first conceived thirty-two years ago, was completed.
Abuja (Idu) to Kaduna (Rigasa) Standard Gauge project completed.
There has been rehabilitation of the existing narrow gauge lines including:
- Lagos – Jebba 480 km line
- Jebba – Kano 624 km line
- Port Harcourt – Aba – Enugu – Makurdi 468 km line
- Kuru – Bauchi – Gombe – Maiduguri 640 km line
- Makurdi – Kafanchan – Kaduna Junction – Kuru line
Upgrade and modernisation of key railway components and equipment, procurement of Rolling Stock (wagons, coaches) and an assortment of parts for operational use.
The Enterprise Resource Programme (ERP) was installed to promote efficiency and the upgrade and modernisation of the antiquated communication and signalling system of the entire rail system.
Introduction of the Transport Sector Reform Bill, which includes the Nigerian Railways Authority (NRA) Bill, designed to open up the sector for the first time, to private sector participation.
Projects underway
A 156.5km double track standard gauge line between Lagos –Ibadan has almost been completed (flagged off for use in December 2019). It has a design capacity for a 150 km/hour speed. It is part of the planned, longer Lagos – Kano line.
284 km Kano – Katsina – Makurdi
Standard Gauge
line.
Further
planned projects
- The 2163 km Port Harcourt – Maiduguri single-track standard gauge rail-line that would traverse major industrial cities along the Eastern corridor, South-South, South-East and the North-Eastern geo-political zones of the country. It is due to be completed in three years’ time (2022).
- The Coastal Railway Project proposed for Nigeria’s coastal states corridor that spans from Lagos to Calabar and cuts through most states in the South East and South. The high speed rail would have the capability of cutting travelling time of 11 hours from Lagos to Calabar by road to less than 3 hours by bullet train.
Completion of projects has not automatically translated into operational reality and consequently, despite the ongoing development of rail infrastructure in Nigeria, it can still not be considered a viable freight transport option of a commercial scale to replace road.

2.5 Nigeria Waterways Assessment
Nigeria has over 10,000 km of inland waterways. This water resource comprises rivers, creeks, lagoons and lakes, and intra-coastal water which source is two main rivers, the Niger and the Benue, both of which form a confluence at Lokoja, in Kogi State. Although the longest is the River Niger, the most used waterway, especially by the larger watercrafts, is its tributary, the Benue River, especially for commercial activities in the delta area of Cross River and all along the coast to the Lagos lagoon.
The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) was established by the government to manage Nigeria’s inland waterways resources. NIWA issues licenses for inland navigation, piers, jetties and dockyards; surveys, examines, approves designs and the construction of inland river crafts and shipyard operators; grants permits and licenses for sand dredging and pipeline construction.
According to statistics from NIWA, 28 of the 36 states of the Federation can be linked by water, though only about 30 percent of these vast resources, which is about 3,800km of waterways, are navigable. NIWA has established that at least 17 out of the 28 states are accessible.
States that can be accessed either through river Niger or Benue include: Adamawa, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Nasarawa, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto and Taraba.
River channels also open to five neighbouring countries on the continent – Benin Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
Security is an issue confronting waterways’ use. Over-crowding of vessels, poor watercraft, and sunken wrecks above and below surface are among reasons for the many accidents on waterways in littoral states.
Although there is potential for economic development, the waterways remain under-utilised and under-developed despite dredging operations in past years. As a result the inland waterways are not currently a viable alternative to road transport for inland Nigeria.
The predominant use is for people transportation within the Lagos area and among the delta states.
Within Lagos State, the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) under the authority of the Lagos State Government is responsible for:
- establishing, maintaining and regulating the operation of any type of vessels and like carriers, pilot boats, ferries, lines and regular ferry services within the waterways of Lagos state;
- regulating the use of internal waterways by all users including private and common carriers;
- entering into contracts for the maintenance, exploration, superintendence, management and transit of all state and internal waterways and terminals, platforms, piers and jetties with any other person(s), authority, company or other private operators;
- instigating and collecting water transportation tolls, rates and charges;
- clearing and maintaining Lagos State Inland waterways free from all obstructions, derelicts, wrecks and abandoned properties and installing route buoys gauges, distance boards and markings along the inland waterways of Lagos State.
For more information on government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Nigeria Government Contact List
Company Information
The Lagos State Ferry Services Corporation (LSFSC) or Lagos Ferry Services Company (also known as LAGFERRY) is the major ferry services provider in Lagos State. It is operated as a state-owned enterprise.
Besides LAGFERRY, other private ferry operators also use modern ferry boats to provide commercial transport services between Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Apapa and Victoria Island.

2.6 Nigeria Storage Assessment
There are many storage facilities of varying size, security and quality nationwide. In the Port area of Lagos and food market city of Kano, reliable storage suitable for food is easily located. In the Ports of Warri and Port Harcourt, which are predominately used by the oil and gas industry, storage for Non Food Items (NFI) is plentiful, however it may be more difficult to obtain storage suitable for humanitarian food stocks.
National capacity meets current needs and there is additional capacity if required for surge demand, however where there is increased demand as a result of humanitarian interventions, prices rise considerably for storage space of all types.
Private commercial storage is easily accessed, obtaining Public Sector storage is problematic due to bureaucratic constraints.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
Major humanitarian organizations use leased warehouse space to store their relief goods and contract management of these facilities to service providers such as John Snow Inc.
The largest of these organisations include UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO (medical supplies), WFP (food), Red Cross (emergency relief items).
Forward logistics capacities – to support cooperating partners storage needs in the deep field locations, WFP has established temporary storage facilities to facilitate commodity receipts and prepositioning especially in hard-to-reach locations. Currently, there are 25 mobile storage facilities of over 7,000 mt capacity spread across 13 locations in Borno and Adamawa states. Some of these facilities were established in line with the IHP/IOM hub expansion plan. Some of them have been set up inside or adjacent to the humanitarian hubs.

Cold Chain
Cold chain storage is not readily available. Companies such as breweries have their own facilities but use them to capacity for their own requirements. Limited pharmaceutical storage is available. Storage is often in small domestic type refrigeration. It is advisable for an organisation to make its own arrangements to import refrigerated containers for large volume storage.
Refrigerators or cool rooms can be purchased in-country, rental facilities are available but scarce. Refrigerated transport is used to capacity by the import meat, fish and poultry industries.
