Overview
Freight Forwarding is a key component of global trade and logistics, involving the planning, coordination, and management of goods being transported across international borders. A freight forwarder acts as an intermediary between the shipper and transportation services, ensuring that cargo moves efficiently from origin to destination—by land, air, or sea.
In Nigeria, freight forwarding is especially important due to the country’s heavy involvement in import and export activities through major seaports and airports. It is studied within programs related to Logistics, Maritime Studies, Shipping Management, and International Trade, and also offered as a professional certification.
