Welcome to Tales of Logistics! In today's Customs Cut Part 2, your host Odiche dives into the chaotic events that plagued the Lagos Port during the turbulent year of 2020. As the pandemic raged globally, Nigeria faced its own crisis with a gridlocked port that affected not only the country but also West and Central Africa's supply chains. Discover how a combination of poor infrastructure, protests, and a lack of automation led to severe congestion.
We explore the challenges importers faced with skyrocketing costs and delayed goods, triggering regional disruptions and sharp price hikes on everyday commodities. But how did Nigeria turn this situation around? Learn about the interventions and innovations, from the introduction of an electronic call-up system to port digitization and risk diversification, that helped navigate this logistical nightmare.
Join us as we uncover the lessons learned from the Lagos congestion crisis, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure diversification, digitization, and collaboration to ensure resilient supply chains in the future. #customscut #Nigeria #Lagos #Africa #Cotonou #Benin #talesoflogistics #FromChaosToControl
