Togo has overtaken Nigeria to become the maritime hub in West and Central Africa due to a long-running crisis bedeviling the nation’s seaports! LEADERSHIP can reveal.
Similarly, it is also the only deep-water port on the West African coast that can accommodate 3rd generation ships, even as the port is well-connected and goods can be delivered to several West African capitals in a single day. They also observed that seaports with best infrastructure such as deeper draught, intermodal means of evacuation turn out to be a maritime hub to support shipping and trade.
Amiwero identified the neighbouring ports which have either completed their deep sea projects or near completion as Cotonou, Benin Republic, Lome, Togo, Accra, Ghana and Cameroun.
So. Togo is a dumping ground
