Experts Call for Multimodal Transport to Fix Nigeria's Supply Chain Woes

Experts stress the need for a modern multimodal transport system in Nigeria to address supply chain challenges, high distribution costs, and industrial delays. Obiora Madu, Director-General of Africa Centre for Supply Chain, highlighted the weak logistics sector in Nigeria and the need for infrastructure improvements.

Stephen Adeloro pointed out issues like stockouts, fragmented delivery systems, and poor road-rail links affecting supply chain efficiency. The high distribution costs in Nigeria, far above global benchmarks, are driving up food prices and hindering competitiveness.
