Abstract: Port congestion in Nigeria significantly hampers operational efficiency and economic growth, leading to delays and operational stagnation. This study aims to identify the primary problems contributing to port congestion, including poor management, inadequate infrastructure, and bureaucratic delays. The study investigates the impacts of decongesting seaports through the development of Inland Container Depots (ICDs) on economic growth, port management, government policy, and transportation systems in Nigeria, focusing on the Kaduna and Jos dry ports. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, the research involved qualitative interviews with port stakeholders and quantitative surveys among dry port users and service providers.
