flag Nigeria’s opposition condemns £746M UK-Nigeria port deal, citing unfair terms and UK firm dominance.

flag The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has condemned a £746 million UK-Nigeria port deal, calling it a loan that primarily benefits British companies, with at least £236 million in contracts going to UK firms, including a £70 million steel deal with British Steel. flag The agreement, facilitated by UK Export Finance and Citibank, funds Lagos port upgrades but raises concerns over unfavorable terms, limited local economic gains, and lack of transparency on interest rates, repayment, job creation, and skills transfer. flag The ADC warns the deal risks undermining Nigeria’s sovereignty and resembles colonial-era arrangements, urging full disclosure to prevent public distrust.
