Coup Threatens $180m Nigeria, Niger Republic Cross-border Trade

According to him, all transit cargoes headed for Niger Republic through the other land borders, including Idiroko, must be stopped.

Maritime experts, however, argued that Nigeria has been removed from the transit nations by Niger Republic. The newly commissioned Lekki port also stated that Niger Republic-bound cargoes are not part of transit cargoes received in the port in July. The trans-Saharan road corridor borders seven northern Nigerian states – Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Zamfara, Jigawa, Yobe, and Borno. This is a vital trade route for Nigeria, connecting the country to its landlocked neighbours in the Sahel region.

According to him, the leadership crisis in the landlocked country will bring a setback to gains recorded by Nigerians to make use of its ports and trade corridors to deliver their cargoes.
