The transport and storage sector was valued at N2.6trn ($6.9bn) in current basic prices in 2020, down from N3trn ($8bn) in 2019, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). This was reflected in a lower contribution to GDP, at 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2020, down from 2.1% during the same period the previous year but higher than the 0.8% recorded in the third quarter of 2020.

Although transport networks have historically been underfunded, the government is prioritising their ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
