A SURVEY OF MODAL SPLIT IN LAGOS METROPOLITAN AREA. YAYA-BANKOLE, SHAMSIDEEN OLAWALE Transportation and property are important in physical and economic development of towns and cities all over the world. Hence, property and land values tend to increase in areas with expanding transportation networks and increase less rapidly in areas without such benefits of integrated transport systems. Interconnectivities in modes of transport have potency of creating a balance and sustainable transport in cities and this could be facilitated by intermodal transport concept. In Nigeria today, it is only in Lagos that we have a functional integrated transport system like “Rail-Road-Water system” or “Air- Road-Rail-Road-Water System”. Intermodal connectivity has taken appreciable dimensions in developed economies such as Britain, France, and United States of America and it is easily seen in their growth and trade within their states and with other economies. Transport services in Nigeria are not as organized as one would expect them to be as they are being operated disjointedly with little planning, organization and control. Since they are not integrated, they cannot form a system and therefore cannot operate as a system. However, this study assesses intermodal transportation and modal choice in trip generation and distribution in Lagos State. The study identified the various modes of transportation system available in Lagos as well as major sources of the commuter trip generation and how they are distributed in Lagos. The volume- share per mode in the major commuting arteries in Lagos was taken into consideration while, the most significant factors that influences modal choice by commuters was determined. Sample size of 8562 was stratified into sub-sample. Questionnaire was administered to commuters to seek the factors that were most significant in their choice of mode. Study revealed that 4% of the study sample commute by walking; 11% commute using their private cars; 19 % used buses; 5% used trains; 3 % used ferry; 12 % used motorcycle and 11% of the sample used shared cars. Modal split and mix were seen to very significant in all the areas. The most significant factor is number of cars available to the households. It had the lowest p-value of 3.16E. The cost of making trips was the most significant factor with p-value of 2.1E-06. The study conclude that Lagos State needs to do more to attract many more users to the use of public transportation, improve the time spent at and efficiency of interchange. The study recommends that the points of interchanges be made to efficiently transfer traffics from each other. Also, the development of rail line to link Alimosho to the existing rail tracks of the Nigerian railway Corporation should be done. This will further help to reduce the number of cars on Lagos roads and divert traffic off the roads to the rail mode of transport. M. TECH, Thesis

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT IN LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA POPOOLA, OMOBOLAJI AGBOOLA This study has been set out to specifically examine the magnitude of Road Traffic Accident indices over a period of 2010-2019, analyze the pattern of Road Traffic Accident in Lagos State, and identify the black spot locations and their impact on spatial content using Geographic Information System (GIS). Spatial data from satellite imagery were extracted to provide the coordinates of accident locations with the aid of Global Positioning System (GPS), the Digital Elevation Model using ArcGIS version 10.7 which created relief maps showcasing all major enforcement agencies, black spots, geometric features, hospitals, date and relevant causes of crashes were determined. Multi-criteria analysis was used to examine the magnitude of Road Traffic Accident indices over a period of 2010-2019 while Spatial Statistical mapping/ Kernel Density Estimation were carried out to analyze the pattern of Road Traffic Accident in Lagos State. Hot Spot Analysis was used for proper delineation and coordination. The Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to determine the road network analysis so as to reveal strategic methods to reducing the menace of black spots. Findings revealed that, total number of recorded crashes across the various roads in the study area was 15,320 cases from 2010 to 2019. The statistics covered the dataset from Motor Traffic Division (MTD) of Nigerian Police Force, Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) for the period January 2010 to December 2019. The results were presented in tables, charts and maps. The research showed that Ikeja has the highest percentage of 21.13% followed by Kosofe (15.22%), Lagos Island (13.55%), but Alimosho and Surulere local government areas have least 3.65% and 2.98% respectively. The hotspot analysis identified 204 black spots with average of 153 events per annum across the senatorial district where Lagos west has the highest percentage of blackspot with 50.49%, followed by Lagos East by 25% and Lagos Central by 24% within the district of the study area in which lack of proper delineation or makings at intersections were revealed to be the major cause of the crashes. The research concluded that, roads and should be are to be constructed with appropriate design on the bases of the type and volume of traffic they are meant to cater for. Similarly, proper markings, geometric and concrete demarcations should be used at intersections. Black spots identified are to be stationed with emergency health facilities. GIS should be incorporated in landuse planning and traffic management decisions. M. TECH, Thesis

PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT MOVEMENT ACROSS LAGOS AND ACCRA INTERNATIONAL BORDERS OLUWAREMI, EBENEZER MAYOMI This research work assessed the volume of passenger exchange across Lagos-Accra land borders; the pattern of legal travelers across the borders; the reasons associated with cross border movements; the effectiveness of the security in curbing the crime rate at Seme Nigeria land border; and also, the overall economic, social and security implications of cross border operations in Nigeria. The research focused on passengers’ movement at Seme Border, Lagos, Nigeria, being the busiest border. Primary data were collected through focus group discussion and self- administration of purposely designed questionnaire to selected respondents include the passengers that ply Lagos-Accra through the selected transport companies and the security personnel at the border posts whose function is authorization of passengers’ movement across the border. Secondary data obtained include the passengers’ manifests from the selected transport companies between 2012 and 2019. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that a total of 2,990,080 passengers were conveyed from Lagos to Accra and vice versa between 2012 and 2019 and passengers from Nigeria were 63.50% while 36.50% came from Ghana. Also, the total number of Nigerians that travelled from Lagos to Accra were 1,855,505, out of which only 30.9% returned to Nigeria. The findings also revealed that all the transport companies commuting passengers across Lagos-Accra borders are guilty of conveying illegal passengers across the borders. A total of 1,090,620 passengers entered Lagos from Accra and out of which 58.6% of the passengers possessed valid travelling documents and 41.4% of the passengers came to the country without any thing to ascertain their legality into the country. The findings also revealed that there is 55.5% of variation in the independent variable, and the multiple correlation is 0.745. This is an indication that the security level at Seme border is not enough to curb illegal immigration of people and smuggling of goods. This has contributed greatly to socio-economic challenges presently witnessed in the country according to the findings. The study made useful recommendations on the need to provide adequate security at Nigerian borders, and thorough monitoring of the security personnel, for them not to compromise in the discharge of their legal duties M.

IMPACT OF AIRPORT LOCATION ON LAND USE LAND COVER AND SOCIO- ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE HINTERLANDS IN NIGERIA KANYIO, OLUFUNTO ADEDOTUN The study assessed the impact of airport location on the socio-economic development of the hinterlands in Nigeria. The objectives of the research are to: examine the impact of airport location on the land use development of the adjoining lands; assess the pattern of economic activities on the development of the adjoining lands; evaluate the impact of airport location on socio-economic development of the adjoining lands; and assess the effect of government land use planning policies in controlling the physical development of the adjoining lands. The study deployed questionnaire, field observation and focus group discussion to collect the required data. Structured questionnaire was administered to nine hundred and twenty-eight (928) residents and business owners to elicit information on their perception of the impact of airport location on the socio-economic development of its adjoining lands. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. The inferential statistics deployed was the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) which was adopted to test the hypothesis. ArcGis 10 was deployed to show land use development. Global Positioning System (GPS) was deployed to identify the location and distribution of economic activities, while SPSS was used for data coding. The findings of the study show that land use development in the study areas have undergone a substantial level of changes, with built-up, becoming more prevalent. In conjunction with this, airport location impacted on land use development through the construction and expansion of urban road networks. Findings revealed that recently, Port Harcourt International Airport has the highest land consumption change rate of 7.72% followed by Abuja Airport location with 6.42%; while Lagos has the lowest record of land consumption/change rate of 3.16%. Findings from the use of GPS revealed that Lagos has the highest level of economic activities totalling two thousand three hundred and twenty-three (2,323). Seven hundred and ninety-one (791) for the core, nine hundred and thirty-six (936) for the transition and five hundred and ninety-six (596) for the periphery zone. The study further revealed that airport location has a significant impact on real estate value. The impact of airport location on residential property sales was highly significant at 57%, 50% and 51% in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt, while the impact of airport location on landed property value was highly significant at 56%, 51% and 53% in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt. The findings further revealed that on business development, airport location influenced the start-up and relocation of businesses to the adjoining land with 72.8%, 64.2% and 78.5% in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt, and propelled business growth and business development. The hypothesis results tested shows p=0.000. M. TECH, Thesis
