The Chief Commercial Officer of APMT Nigeria, Caroline Aubert-Adewuyi, while emphasising the value of feedback from exporters, highlighted the terminal’s improvements from the previous forum, including expanded barge slots, a new booking app, and enhanced rail services for smoother logistics.

“This forum is an opportunity to hear feedback from our customers to continue building products that will help the exporters grow their business and grow Nigeria exports in the future,” she said.

The Chief Financial Officer of APMT Nigeria, Courage Obadagbonyi, highlighted the importance of non-oil exports in driving foreign exchange, job creation, and reducing inflation, particularly in light of fluctuating global oil prices.

According to him, the terminal operator is committed to advancing the Federal Government’s economic diversification efforts by promoting non-oil exports.

“As a result of our efforts in this regard, we have recorded a 25 per cent increase of non-oil exports in throughput, handling 51,000 twenty-foot equivalent units in the first half of 2024 compared to 47,000 TEUs in the same period of 2023,” Obadagbonyi said.
