Logistics Management In Nigeria

This compilation brings together three insightful studies addressing key issues in Nigeria's transportation, maritime trade, and disaster management sectors. The first article analyzes traffic flow patterns at major intersections in Minna, identifying the dominance of private cars and tricycles, and advocates for the introduction of public transport to alleviate congestion. The second article explores how maritime trade logistics affect the profitability of Nigerian healthcare manufacturers, revealing the significant role of seaport clearance times, costs, and hinterland transport in shaping business outcomes. Lastly, the third article assesses the challenges faced by disaster management organizations in distributing relief materials at the Gwada IDP camp, highlighting resource shortages, poor distribution methods, and infrastructure issues, while calling for increased government support to improve efficiency. This book offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to address critical infrastructure and logistical challenges in Nigeria.
