10th Transport Day event to focus on safety issues

Transport industry experts and other stakeholders from both public and private sectors will x-ray safety issues across all modes of transportation at the 10th edition of the Nigeria Transport Lecture holding in Lagos on May 23, 2024.

The event fixed for Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja GRA, Lagos, according to a statement by Transport Day Media, will hold under the theme ‘Transportation Safety in Nigeria: The Way Forward’.

Those expected at the lecture are key industry players such as the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigerian Shippers’ Council, and the Nigeria Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB).

The Editor-in-Chief of Transport Day Media, Mr. Frank Kintum, said the topic had become relevant in contemporary times because many lives and property were being lost to lack of adherence to safety measures in all modes of transportation.

He said, “Irrespective of the level of infrastructural development in the transportation sector, if safety is not promoted, we are going to continue to record loss of lives and valuable property.

“Hence, the lecture is meant to address pertinent issues concerning the industry as it concerns our local Nigerian setting.

“Aside from the lecture, we are also going to use the opportunity to recognise some players, both public and private sectors, who have significantly contributed to the growth of the sector and the economy in general.”
