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

”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.
