An economist urged the Federal Government to address port delays, high risks, and legal uncertainty to improve Nigeria's maritime competitiveness and attract investment. While ports like Apapa, Tin Can, and Onne have improved vessel turnaround times compared to ports in Lome, Tema, and Abidjan, cargo clearance delays remain a major constraint to the sector.
