Hadiza Bala Usman is advocating for changes to port fees. She believes that high costs are affecting the nation's seaports. Usman thinks that the effectiveness of port modernisation should be judged on several factors, including cargo movement and logistics costs.
She expressed these views during a recent lecture, where industry stakeholders discussed challenges facing the maritime sector. The event was the 2026 Annual Maritime Lecture, organised by the Maritime Reporters Association of Nigeria.
Further details about her proposals and the lecture are available from the source.
