Pigee acquires majority stake in Nigerian logistics startup ShipAfrica

“This acquisition reflects growing interest from foreign tech players in Africa’s logistics sector, where local infrastructure often outpaces digital tools.”
What it means
While the deal signals confidence in Nigeria’s logistics market, its success will hinge on integrating Pigee’s software with ShipAfrica’s existing operations. Similar cross-border plays in Africa have struggled with execution, so the next 12 months will test whether this partnership can scale. If it works, expect more foreign firms to seek local logistics partners rather than build from scratch.
