Abstract:
Transportation is the backbone of economic development, facilitating trade, mobility, and social integration. In Nigeria, the transportation sector plays a crucial role in connecting people, goods, and services across vast geographical regions. However, the system faces significant inefficiencies, safety risks, and infrastructural deficits that hinder its full potential. This section provides an overview of Nigeria’s transport modes, highlights key challenges, and underscores the importance of transport management in addressing these issues. Nigeria’s transportation network comprises four major modes: road, rail, air, and maritime, each contributing uniquely to the economy but facing distinct operational challenges.
