Abstract: Apapa port, Nigeria is perhaps the largest port in the country. However, the port is being saddled with inadequate transport infrastructure development that undermines its potentialities. The study, through qualitative and quantitative approaches, has proposed logistics infrastructure at which the congestion could be reduced, as well as, the port realizes its full potentialities within the framework of business investment for the country. The study recommends amongst many other that the concept could only be realized through Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) that incorporates societal marketing principle. This will promote the use of intermodality and offer an increasing range of services to prospective customers, consequently, encourages synergies between the ports and various industrial areas within geo-political zones in the country, which will equally be incorporated in policy making at both port and National level.
