Driving growth from port to door: How MMI Global Logistics supports Nigeria’s economic backbone
As Nigeria continues to push for economic growth and trade expansion, the role of reliable logistics services cannot be overstated. Among companies across industries at heart of this transformation is MMI Global Logistics Limited, an Indigenous freight forwarding and transportation company that’s quickly gaining recognition for its impact on local business and national trade.
Founded in 2022 by a visionary team of directors and logistics specialists, MMI Global Logistics was built on a mission to make cargo movement safer, faster and more transparent in Nigeria.
Today, with a growing workforce, a fleet of dedicated trucks, a culture of operational excellence, and branches in Lagos, Kano and Ilorin, MMI is not just moving goods – it’s moving Nigeria forward.
Local roots, national reach
Unlike many international firms operating in the same space, MMI Global Logistics is proudly Indigenous.
“We understand the local terrain, and we use that knowledge to deliver better services,” said the CEO, Abdulkadir Moshood.
Their operations span Nigeria’s ports, roads and terminals, offering customs clearing, import/export handling, container movement, and haulage services. From agricultural exports to industrial imports, MMI ensures that goods get to where they’re needed, when they’re needed – without the red tape.
Creating jobs, empowering professionals
With over 10 full-time staff and partners, and a robust network of trained drivers and logistics professionals, the company is creating quality jobs and upskilling workers in a sector where safety and professionalism are crucial.
“Our drivers go through regular training and medical assessments. Safety isn’t optional for us – it’s embedded in everything we do,” said Mashood.
With three training sessions per quarter, a strict recruitment process, and real-time tracking systems in place, MMI is setting a new standard in haulage safety.
Community impact through logistics
The ripple effects of MMI’s operations go far beyond the ports. By ensuring timely cargo delivery and reducing costs related to demurrage and storage, they’re helping Nigerian businesses operate more efficiently and remain competitive.
Their services have supported companies like Tesco Oil, MAFA MB Integrated Services, and Sidi International Market, enabling smooth supply chain operations even in challenging environments.
MMI also works closely with regulatory bodies like the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) and NAFDAC to ensure goods meet safety standards, thus protecting consumers and building trust in Nigerian markets.
Championing compliance and trust
For a sector often slowed by inefficiency, MMI Global Logistics is raising the bar. The company emphasizes proper documentation, financial transparency, and regulatory compliance – making them a reliable partner for businesses across industries.
Whether it’s managing customs paperwork or advising clients on best practices for imports and exports, MMI acts as more than just a logistics company – it’s a trusted guide in Nigeria’s trade environment.
From its humble beginnings as a single forwarder to its current status as a logistics provider with a growing fleet and high-profile clients, MMI Global Logistics is a pointer to what’s possible when expertise, integrity and local commitment come together.
