Abstract: Abstract. The manufacturing sector in Nigeria is not performing to its full potential, as shown by the economic statistics that are now accessible, such as the annual contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), and manufacturing value added (MVA), during a period of nearly four decades (1982–2018). The goal of this study is to evaluate Apapa and Tin Can Ports' level of industrial sector orientation in order to enhance the efficiency of the supply chains for the food and beverage manufacturing industry in the industrial clusters of Lagos and Ogun.This study made use of secondary data. Data on container port throughput for the eight (8) years between 2014 and 2021 was obtained from the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA), which is in charge of managing and operating ports in Nigeria. Additionally, information on Manufacturing Production Values was obtained from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), the organization that represents all Nigerian manufacturers. The results of the multiple regression analyses show a significant and direct relationship between the manufacturing production value (MPV) of the food and beverage industry and the throughputs of the two ports, Apapa and Tin-can Island. Tin Can Port has more of an impact than Apapa. At the cluster level, Tin Can Port's throughput had no significant relationship with the MPV of the Apapa cluster, but Apapa Port's throughput had a direct and significant impact on it. According to findings on the Ikeja cluster, MPV is only positively and significantly impacted by Tin Can Island Port's throughput. The Throughputs of both ports have significant impacts on MPVs in the Ogun cluster. Apapa, however, has a greater effect than Tin Can Port. Therefore, it is important to take into account the connections between a particular port and industrial cluster while choosing an optimal approach
