World Bank ranks Nigeria’s ports among the world’s top 20.

The World Bank has placed Nigeria’s ports among the top 20 improved ports worldwide.

This information was released in the 2025 Container Port Performance Index, published in June 2026.

According to the data, Nigeria’s Tincan Island and Apapa ports ranked 10th and 12th, respectively, on the World Bank’s CPP1 for 2025.

Abubakar Dantsoho, Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), said the progress was due to increased investment in port infrastructure by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

“With the investor‑friendliness of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu providing the gravitas needed for increased investment to implement our port infrastructure and equipment modernization drive coupled with the unflinching support from the Honorable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola,” he said.
