The United Arab Emirates is intensifying efforts to optimize trade corridors and enhance logistics coordination to support Nigeria’s expanding commercial footprint. Chaired by Minister of Foreign Trade Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi and hosted by the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC), high-level consultations brought together global shipping lines and maritime executives to address regional supply chain bottlenecks.
To streamline cargo movement, Dubai Customs has rolled out high-impact operational frameworks, including green transit corridors, simplified guarantee protocols, and the Advance Cargo Information (ACI) system. Furthermore, a newly launched maritime feeder service connecting regional hubs with international markets is designed to strengthen trade connectivity and reduce dwell times.
As West Africa's leading maritime and economic gateway, Nigeria relies heavily on resilient, well-synchronized supply chains to support its manufacturing and energy sectors. Deepening UAE-Nigeria logistics cooperation ensures uninterrupted cargo flows and positions both nations as strategic partners in shaping a modern, future-ready African trade ecosystem.
