Abstract

This paper examines the current state of Nigerian seaports, identifies the challenges inhibiting their optimal performance, and explores the numerous untapped opportunities that can be harnessed through AfCFTA. It argues that with the right reforms and investment strategies, Nigeria can leverage its port infrastructure to dominate intra-African trade and catalyze inclusive economic growth across the continent.
