Seaports are ports located close to the sea where sea vessels, mainly ships bring in goods from other countries into Nigeria and export Nigerian goods to other countries too. Nigerian sea ports are managed by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA). They serves as the essential spots with facilities where ships can dock and transfer people or cargo to or from land.

Nigerian Seaports are mainly located in Southern Nigeria due to the presence of the Atlantic Ocean which serves as the medium where goods are mainly transported to and from Nigeria.
