Nneji Advocates for Road Transport Development in Nigeria

At the 30th Anniversary Legacy Leadership Lecture and Awards in Lagos, Nneji, the Chairman of the Occasion, highlighted that over 90% of Nigerians rely on road transportation, yet the sector receives minimal policy attention compared to aviation. He called for enhanced government commitment to developing road infrastructure, which he argued is essential for reducing business costs, improving logistics, and fostering economic growth.

Nneji pointed out that while aviation issues often dominate national discussions, road transport challenges are overlooked despite serving a larger population. He advocated for greater private sector participation in road infrastructure through concessions to improve quality and sustainability.

Nneji also stressed the media's role in influencing public policy and urged journalists to consistently cover transportation issues to prompt government action. He received the Industry Legacy Leadership Award for his contributions to road transportation and entrepreneurship, and he congratulated Julie Chi-Nwaoha on her 30 years of reporting in the sector.
