Nigeria's FG Advocates Transport Integration for Economic Growth
The Federal Government of Nigeria is advocating for a comprehensive transformation of the country's transportation and logistics system, emphasizing the integration of various transport modes such as road, rail, waterways, and ports. Prince Segun Ochuko Obayendo, Technical Adviser to the Vice President on Transportation, Logistics and Innovation, made this call at the 2026 Transport Industry Summit organized by the Transportation Correspondents Association of Nigeria (TCAN) in Lagos.
He highlighted that Nigeria's economic potential cannot be realized without addressing structural weaknesses in its transport system, which include delays, fragmented transportation modes, multiple checkpoints, insecurity, and poor coordination. Obayendo cited examples from countries like Singapore and Germany, where integrated transport systems contribute to economic development.
He stressed the importance of creating a multimodal system that allows seamless travel across different transport modes, akin to the Hamburg port ecosystem in Germany, which utilizes technology for efficient logistics and cargo tracking.
