The first half of 2025 (H1) was pivotal for Nigeria’s transportation sector due to significant policy reforms and strategic alliances. Key developments included the launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) air corridor, which highlighted Nigeria’s commitment to regional integration and diversifying non-oil exports. The introduction of new tax reforms aimed at enhancing the ease of doing business and streamlining tax compliance improved the business climate for transport and logistics operators.
A major milestone was the submission of documentation for Nigeria’s largest private seaport, underscoring the country’s commitment to transforming maritime operations in West Africa. The momentum continued with advancements in aviation modernisation and regulatory digitisation, with significant efforts made towards addressing long-standing infrastructural challenges and creating a solid foundation for growth. With the advancements already made in H1, the second half of 2025 (H2) promises to further enhance connectivity, investment, and trade in the transportation sector.
