Stakeholders in the nation’s transportation industry will, on October 29, 2025, converge at the Providence Hotel, GRA, Ikeja, for the maiden edition of the Transport Infrastructure Summit organized by JustAlive Communications Limited, publishers of JustNet News.
The summit, themed “Nigeria’s Transport Infrastructure: Innovation for a Sustainable Future,” seeks to interrogate the state of the country’s transport infrastructure and explore innovative pathways toward a sustainable and efficient system.
Speaking ahead of the event, the Managing Director of JustAlive Communications Limited, Mrs. Pearl Ngwama, said the summit would serve as a platform for experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and proffer solutions to the challenges confronting Nigeria’s transport sector.
“This summit will provide a platform for experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to share knowledge, best practices, and standards, and proffer solutions to address the challenges facing Nigeria’s transport infrastructure,” Ngwama said.
She added that the forum would bring together professionals from all modes of transportation — aviation, maritime, inland waterways, rail, and road — to take a holistic look at the sector.
According to her, the summit represents the organization’s modest contribution to the development of the transport and logistics industry, given its centrality to national growth.
“Transportation is a catalyst for economic development considering its importance and enormous contribution to the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP),” she added.
Nigeria’s transport infrastructure remains a critical pillar of national development, facilitating the movement of goods, people, and services while enhancing economic productivity. However, the sector continues to grapple with issues such as inadequate funding, poor maintenance, weak intermodal connectivity, and policy inconsistency.
The summit, therefore, will examine these challenges and identify innovative, technology-driven solutions capable of repositioning the sector for long-term sustainability and competitiveness.
