A Perception Study of Seaborne Cargo Infrastructural capacity in Lagos Port Complex

The study aims to analyse the seaborne cargo infrastructural capacity in Lagos Port Complex. The research adopts expository research design, with Lagos Port Complex as the sample frame. 230 questionnaires was administered using purposive sampling technique. Mann Withney U-test was used for the analysis. The research reveals that Port infrastructural capacity based on infrastructural adequacy or inadequacy is of moderate effect in the stance of ‘adequacy of port storage facilities', ‘port-oriented traffic', ‘obsolete handling equipment' and ‘level of workforce' of r-value |-0.210|, |-0.207|, |-0.245|, |-0.212| respectively. Therefore, it can be said that the port infrastructural capacity of the Lagos Port Complex (LPC) is relatively poor considering eleven (11) independent variables, where only four (4) have moderate effect on infrastructural adequacy of the port and the remaining seven (7) were of no statistical significant effect on infrastructural capacity of the port.
