SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Seaports and African Trade: the Role of Ports in Africa’s Economic Growth\nAfrica’s port infrastructure presents both challenges and opportunities for the development of trade. Among the key challenges is congestion\, which was an issue on the continent long before the COVID-19 era. Another is the need for investment and technological advances to support mega shipping vessels. \nOn Feb. 9\, Frank Ojadi from the Lagos Business School faculty will talk about the latest paradigm shifts in ports globally and the role ports are now playing to enhance trade. He will address why ports in other areas of the world play a much more important role than they do in Africa. \nIn his presentation\, part of CARISCA’s Distinguished Lecture Series\, Ojadi will first look at the fundamentals and history of port development in Africa. He will cover the early growth period and the role ports have traditionally played in African trade. He also will offer insights with respect to colonial-era port development on the continent. \nOjadi will look at the challenges African ports need to overcome to make supply chains on the continent more efficient. This issue is especially urgent considering the rollout of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)\, which is hindered by current port infrastructure. \nOther key questions the presentation will address include: How can African ports help support regional growth? How can the proper development of African ports support the hinterland regions? How can sustainability be addressed through port infrastructure? \nRead More \n
