It might interest you to know that shipping of commodities from China to Nigeria cost ₦900, 000 (Naira) For 40ft Container.
Now, to move the same container from Lagos Seaport to Trade Fair Lagos (Within The Same State) Cost N700, 000 (Naira) because the market is predominate by Ndigbo
Again to move the same container from Lagos to South-East Nigeria costs ₦1.2 Million (Naira). Why? The answer is simple, no Seaport in the S/East.
The one at South-South, Port Harcourt, no accessible federal road from there to Abia and other States. The charges at the other hand is relatively very high.
-Now add up all the costs and then you will understand the true meaning of Marginalisation.
