Abstract
This paper discusses the factors that militate against the growth and sustainability of the Nigerian Inland waterway ports from secondary data and inductive research perspective. The Nigerian nation has adequate coverage of major inland waters that are either navigable at present or potentially navigable if a waterway clearing and dredging is implemented. Generally speaking, Nigeria has enormous inland water potential that is capable of maximally reducing the pressure on other modes of transportation especially road, in the transportation of heavy equipment and bulk goods both solid and liquid. Sustainable Inland waterway ports and transportation are undoubtedly a panacea for job creation and promotion of commerce at local and riverine community levels through boat building, fabrication, and transport.
