The Shipping Association of Nigeria has revealed that the nation’s seaports recorded a 40–50 per cent increase across the entire shipping sector in 2025.
This is even as the association attributed the increase to currency stability and other factors that are driving and improving the nation’s economy.
The Chairman of SAN, Boma Alabi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, disclosed this in Lagos while addressing some selected maritime journalists on Saturday. Alabi stressed that 2025 has been a better year than 2024 in terms of the entire shipping sector volume in the maritime sector.
“We have seen an increase across the entire shipping sector in 2025, both coming in and going out, which I think is because of the stability of the currency and other factors that the economy is improving.
“Giving the percentage of the increase, I would say at least 40 to 50 per cent, just by general observation of the number of vessels that are calling into our ports and also leaving with cargoes from our ports. So, as usual, we have several agencies that we have to interface with,” Alabi said.
