“The vision behind the Apapa-Moniya rail product launch is to open Nigeria’s hinterland, making it easily accessible to international trade. This is especially critical for agricultural commodities that are perishable and require scheduled logistics service that is reliable and predictable. This would greatly improve the business prospects for importers and exporters in the hinterland that require a fixed, reliable rail schedule to get their commodities to Apapa port.”

Accompanying the APM Terminals team were the Denmark Consul General, Trade Counsellor, Jette Bjerrum, and Commercial Trade Advisor to the Danish Consulate, Victoria Epelle.

Consul General Jette Bjerrum highlighted Denmark’s extensive commercial activities in Nigeria, focusing on improving the agricultural value chain.

She said, “Denmark aims to support local interests in the export, agricultural, energy, and livestock sectors, with government approval for cold chain initiatives to enhance market support.”

Emphasising ongoing road construction to improve connectivity, including linking Shaki to Benin, Tilewa Folami, discussed the state’s plans towards industrialisation and agricultural consolidation.

He highlighted the importance of the Apapa-Moniya rail service for logistics planning to avoid traffic congestion, as the area is set to host a new city and the largest market in West Africa, in collaboration with France.

Tilewa Folami said, “It would help if APM Terminals shared data on the progress of the rail service with us, weekly and monthly updates. Additionally, it would be great if you could establish an office in Moniya to handle customer enquiries.

“On the part of the Oyo state government, there are plans in the making for a cargo and international passenger airport, local trade focus, and an upcoming summit in May with 150 companies and regional investments.”

Several agricultural importers and exporters who met with the terminal team, also shared insights about their businesses, challenges, and needs. Key questions raised included the need for booking from Ibadan without traveling to Lagos, cold chain requirements, data sharing by the Oyo State government to drive investment, and cargo consolidation at the terminal.

APM Terminals Apapa had last month in collaboration with the Nigerian Railway Corporation, flagged off the Apapa-Moniya rail service which departs from Lagos, thrice weekly, delivering and evacuating cargo in and out of the port.
