10 Best Shipping Companies in Nigeria

10 Best Shipping Companies in Nigeria

22 Sep 2025

In Nigeria, shipping and logistics cover a wide spectrum: small parcel / courier services for individuals & businesses, e-commerce order fulfilment, domestic haulage, freight forwarding (sea, air, land), customs clearance, warehousing, and specialised marine/offshore logistics. Over the past decade, the rise of online shopping has driven demand for fast last-mile delivery, reliable tracking, and flexible delivery options (e.g. pick up, drop off, same-day, next-day). Local players like GIG Logistics, CourierPlus, Sendbox and others have adopted technology (apps, real-time tracking, dashboards) to stay competitive, reduce delays and increase transparency. At the same time, international giants like DHL continue to dominate when cross-border shipment, global supply chains, or urgent export/import are needed. For heavy and industrial‐scale logistics (e.g. oil & gas, port operations), companies such as Intels and LADOL remain critical, offering infrastructure, specialised equipment, and the capability for handling large cargo. Challenges in the sector include inconsistent road infrastructure, customs delays, security, fragmented last-mile in rural areas, and cost volatility. But regulatory improvements, investment in tech & transport, and growing e-commerce are pushing the shipping/logistics sector in Nigeria toward more efficiency and broader reach.
