Nigeria’s exports increase by about 25% over the past two years, according to Dr Abubakar Dantsoho, managing director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA). Dantsoho says the figures are discussed while speaking in London at an international ports event.
Across the reports, outlets attribute the growth to Federal Government reforms and improved cooperation involving port terminal operators. One outlet also adds more detail on what is driving exports, citing cocoa and cashew, and notes broader port and revenue initiatives. Another adds planning for additional export terminals and a stated investment for an upgrade in Lagos. Overall, the core message is consistent, with variation mainly in supporting context and added operational details.
