Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Lagos State, Nigeria's economic hub, has embraced globalization to develop its supply chain infrastructure, aiming to enhance trade and economic growth. However, the rapid emergence of disruptive technologies has raised significant sustainability concerns. The state faces challenges such as infrastructure deficits, the digital divide, trade disruptions, and geopolitical tensions, which complicate its participation in the globalized supply chain while striving for sustainable development. This study assesses Lagos State's supply chain policies through the lens of emerging technologies and sustainability issues. Using qualitative methods, including key informant interviews and content analysis, the research examines how Lagos can leverage new technologies to enhance supply chain sustainability. The findings reveal notable progress in infrastructure development but highlight persistent challenges in balancing global trade participation with sustainable practices. The study concludes that Lagos State's supply chain policy can drive economic growth by harnessing emerging technologies and prioritizing sustainability. Recommendations include increased investment in research and development, regular policy reviews, and strengthened stakeholder collaboration to address sustainability challenges effectively.
