The Nigerian port is ranked 57th in the world out of 199 indexed ports. This is according to port Index – the interactive tool recently unveiled by Arton Capital, a financial advisory firm which specialises in procuring multiple citizenships for its clients.

Commenting on the Index, Oluwakemi Ojo – Head of Communications for Travelstart Nigeria – said, “Arton Capital’s assessment bodes well for Nigerians who love to travel. Currently, Nigerian port holders enjoy visa-free access to 61 countries in the world including Fiji, Dominican Republic, Madagascar, Mauritius, and Kenya. Visa-free travel is extremely important because it facilitates doing business in foreign territories, and for leisure travellers it reduces the costs and istrative hassles of international travel.”

In West Africa, Guinea has a leg up on the rest of the sub-region. The second most useful port in the region belongs to Togo whose bearers can travel to a total of 67 countries without having to apply for a visa. Citizens of Sao Tome & Principles are less fortunate with visa-free access to just 28 countries.

The port Index filters ports by country, by region, by colour (of the port cover), and by port power rank – the ranking system allocates 1 point for each country the port holder can enter without applying for a visa before departure.

The United Kingdom and United States share the highest port power rank in the index with access to 147 countries, while Palestinian Territories, Myanmar among others have the lowest with visa free access to just 28 countries. Nigeria holds the same rank on the port ranking as with Tunisia, Zambia, Mali, Namibia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Tanzania and Bahrain.

The Index’s visa-free count is based on data and consultations from IATA’s Timaticweb platform and other sources. ports are ranked based on their Visa Free Score. The higher the Visa Free Score, the better the port Power Rank.

The country list is based on the 193 UN member countries and 6 territories (Macao, Kosovo, etc.) for a total of 199. Territories annexed to other countries such as Norfolk Island, French Polynesia, etc. are excluded. Data is based on research from publicly available sources, as well as information shared by government agencies.

Gradually, Nigeria will get better. We need to build our international reputation which the PDP Party have bastardize in the last 16 years.

We are becoming more relevant.

Is it the number of countries you can access without a visa or the quality of the country.

I would prefer that they were three countries like USA, UK, Canada,Switzerland etc to sixty countries including pakistan, Afghanistan,syria, somalia etc

Praise the Lord
