Abstract

This study set out to establish the impact of hinterland transport connectivity  on port operational performance in Nigeria. With a more efficient integration of land transport system in the country, it facilitates increased logistics performance index, vessels turnaround time, and enhance port performance. Hypotheses were tested, regression and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was deployed to test its significance. Base on the result obtained from the data collated, Logistics Performance Index, Domestic logistics cost and liner connectivity index all have significant impact on hinterland integration of all modes of transport to enhance port performance in Nigerian ports.
