Mr. Kingsley Igwe, FCILT, Registrar/CEO of the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN), spoke at the 6th Edition of the JournalNG Port Industry Town Hall Meeting held in Lagos on April 24, 2026, where he highlighted the urgent need for Nigeria to accelerate the adoption of smart port systems.

He noted that the full integration of smart technologies across Nigeria’s ports could reduce overall port and logistics costs by up to 14%, while increasing operational efficiency by as much as 40%.

This transformation goes beyond modernization. It is a strategic imperative for enhancing Nigeria’s global maritime competitiveness, strengthening transparency, and driving sustainable growth across the port and logistics ecosystem.

The future of port operations is anchored in digitalization, automation, and data-driven decision-making. Nigeria must therefore make deliberate investments in smart infrastructure and align with international best practices to unlock the immense potential of its maritime sector.
