Obayendo said this on the sidelines of the 17th National Council on Transportation in Abuja on Monday.

The meeting is with theme, ”Transport Technology and Innovation for Socio-Economic Sustainability”.

”CIOTA represents the five modes of transportation of aviation, maritime, rail, pipeline and road transportation.

”A technological needs assessment of five modes of transportation have just been concluded.

”If we deploy these innovations, we can begin to talk about a new Nigeria.

”Technological innovations have made it easy to analyse traffic in real time, providing 100 per cent accurate data in all traffic conditions.

”This helps to save time, cost and of course, boosts internally generated revenue for planning and development.

”We will continue in the drive to attract the best brains in the world. Furthermore, we will be committed to ensure that CIOTA will continue to source membership from both the public and private sector and especially multinationals and international bodies.”

The CIOTA, said, has made impact in terms of job creation across this modes.

“Now that we have been elected, we have plans in place to further enhance the employability of members so that wherever they find themselves they will have value to add to that organisation.

“They will have a lot to contribute as far as that is concerned. ”

“With the deep blue project, we now have secured gulf of guinea and piracy has been reduced to the barest minimum .

“On rail, the government has now deployed technology such that before a reoccurrence of a train attack now, they will be alerted, technology would detect it and that will help in mitigating insecurity and controlling them. ”

Also speaking, the Managing Director, Dala Inland Dry Port, Kano, Alhaji Ahmad Rabiu commended the council for impactful efforts over the years.

“The conference is a very important event to all actors in the transport industry.

” It is the vehicle that provides interaction among all players in the industry where informations are shared and issues are raised for consideration by all,”he said.
