The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stated that Nigerian ports system is challenging, identifying the absence of National Single Window platform, absence of scanning machines for Customs operations, poor logistics and road infrastructures as the bane of Nigerian Ports system. We are trying to determine the different policies and priorities put in place, particularly the scanners, national single window. Bello described Nigerian ports as a major port in North and Central African subregion and it is the largest economy in Africa. He said Nigerian ports attract 40-60 per cent of all the cargoes in the sub-region. The ports are private sector driven, having been concessioned about 12years back to the private sector, because we believe that the private sector should lead.
