This is a positive problem
Just kick start all those dry ports and channel some of them there to be cleared.

I see this as more money to Federal Government.

I stand with the border closure.
What u are saying is that d dry ports haven't yet been kick started? That means there was no contingency to deal with d traffic from d closed borders.

Also, u say "more money to FG". Has money ever been d FGs problem? All d monies they have, what have they achieved with it?

Isn't port congestion a good thing

that way shipping coys will be forced to spread thier tentacles and look beyond Lagos seaports, other ports in Nigeria are dying of attention.

This is the time for other sea ports to attract shipping companies via incentives or whatever.

it will even help decongest Lagos population and it's traffic issues
Even b4 d border closure, Lagos port was damn congested with trucks waiting up to a week or two b4 they could enter d port except u had money to pay for what they call "express". That didn't divert them to other ports

the border closure is one bold step, it gives one hope that one day Nigerian leaders will wake up to their responsibilities, God bless our president for this border closure
4d fact that it is a bold step, does that make it d right step?

Let Nigerian government ban Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter and other foreign social media platforms in our country. Our Internet gurus in Nigeria will take advantage of that to invent their own platforms thereby empowering her citizens. If Nairaland were to be the only platform we have in Nigeria, Seun would have upgraded it to perform in more diverse ways and so enjoy the money foreign guys are taking away from us. Before you attack my comment, please do your research to know that China and some countries allow home made social media full operations in their countries 24/7.But Some social media can only operate one or two hours in some countries so as to forestall competition with home made media. We want more Seuns to rise in Nigeria to push others out of the business. If I were to be Nigerian president I'll do it and no gate of hell shall prevail against me. The only way to kill your creativity is to have an option. Where there is no option, innovation is berthed.

Leave am. Borders will remain closed. There are several ports and more ports are under way in Lagos, Ondo, South-East and South-South to take of legal imports and exports.
U say there more ports on d way when out of d four ports in Nigeria, its just Lagos port that does almost d work. If d other 3 ports are highly underutilized, then what is d wisdom in building new ones?

Here are immediate solutions to Ports’ Congestion:

1. Streamline and fast track clearing process.

2. Make use of our new Inland Dry Ports. Importers can go there and clear their containers too.

Unless our neighbours take steps to help fight illegal dumping of substandard goods in Nigeria, nobody should cajole Nigeria into policy that harms our people.
What exactly is d job of d Nigerian customs service?

What's so difficult about using a van to transport the poor escaped Kano lion back to its cage instead of using wheelbarrow.

What if the lion regain its conscious in the process.

Illegality has become their norms at least this border closure will be a step for Nigeria to know where and how to start .If they like doing rice and any other business in Nigeria let them come down to Nigeria to establish their faming business and others but we say no to turn Nigeria to dumping site of illegal and substandard product in the country .

The government should have ensured all other ports in the nation are working but nooo they decided to allow them stay dormant hence this had led to the faux parse we are now witnessing
You have have to be specific when throwing accusations around...

Which government allowed the other ports to be dormant?
