The President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, and the Dean of the School of Transportation and Logistics, Lagos State University, Prof. Ogochukwu Ugboma, will headline the 12th edition of the Nigeria Transport Lecture scheduled for June 18, 2026, in Lagos.

The annual lecture, organised by Transport Day Media, is regarded as one of the country’s leading platforms for policy dialogue and industry engagements in the transportation and logistics sector.

This year’s edition, themed “Multi-modal Transportation Safety in Nigeria: Prospects, Challenges and Contribution to National Growth,” will bring together key stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to examine safety concerns, operational challenges and policy directions required to strengthen Nigeria’s evolving transport system.

The event will hold at the Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, according to a statement made available on Wednesday by the organisers.

The organisers also said discussions at the lecture would focus on improving safety across road, rail, air and maritime transportation as Nigeria intensifies efforts to develop an integrated multi-modal transport network capable of driving economic growth and national development.

Over the years, it added that the Nigeria Transport Lecture had featured prominent policymakers and industry leaders, including former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Dr. Dakuku Peterside; former Permanent Secretary, Dr. Anthonia Ekpa; Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Dr. Kayode Opeifa; and former Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi.

Speaking on the significance of this year’s lecture, the Editor of Transport Day Media, Mr. Frank Kintum, described the programme as a strategic intervention aimed at addressing pressing challenges confronting the transport and logistics industry.

“Every year, we use the lecture as a platform to discuss contemporary issues shaping the industry. This year, we chose multi-modal transportation safety because without safety, ongoing transport initiatives by governments at different levels may not achieve their intended impact,” he said.

Kintum added that the lecture reflects the organisation’s commitment to promoting sustainable transportation policies and supporting the development of an efficient and globally competitive logistics industry in Nigeria and across Africa.
