Multi-modal transport safety tops discussions at 12th Nigeria Transport Lecture

As Nigeria pushes for a more integrated transportation system, industry experts are set to discuss multi-modal safety and the need for stronger coordination across the sector at the 12th Nigeria Transport Lecture.

The annual lecture, organised by Transport Day Media, a specialised media platform focused on transportation and logistics reporting and analysis, is scheduled to be held on June 18, 2026, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.

Speakers, including Boboye Oyeyemi, national president of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation (CILT), and Ogochukwu Ugboma, dean of the School of Transportation and Logistics, Lagos State University (LASU), will address participants on the theme, ‘Multi-modal Transportation Safety in Nigeria: Prospects, Challenges & Contribution to National Growth.’

The event is expected to attract major stakeholders from the public and private sectors of the transport and logistics industry to discuss critical safety concerns and policy frameworks needed to strengthen Nigeria’s multi-modal transportation system.

Over the years, the Nigeria Transport Lecture has featured notable industry leaders and policymakers, including Dakuku Peterside, former director-general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA); Anthonia Ekpa, former federal permanent secretary; and Kayode Opeifa, managing director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), among others.

Speaking on this year’s edition, Frank Kintum, editor of Transport Day Media, said the lecture remains a strategic platform for addressing pressing issues within the transportation and logistics sector.

“Every year, we use the lecture as a platform to discuss contemporary issues in the industry. This year, we settled for multi-modal transportation safety because without safety, the various multi-modal transport initiatives by governments at different levels may be undermined,” Kintum said.

He further noted that the event represents Transport Day Media’s contribution toward building a sustainable and efficient transport and logistics industry in Nigeria and across Africa.
