To Grow the Economy and Enhance Businesses

 

Even as the Federal Government continues to work at improving rail network across the country, professionals in the Maritime/Transports sectors have called on states government as well to do more to ease transport constraints in the country.

The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, while speaking at the investiture ceremony for Dr. Bashir Jamoh, President of the Chartered Institute of Transport Administration in Nigeria (CIoTA), and the inauguration of CIoTA’s National Executive Council and Governing Council, said NIMASA was committed to the actualisation of a robust transportation sector in the country.

Dakuku said NIMASA will continue to work with professionals in the transportation industry to make the sector more viable and globally competitive. He also commended the election of Jamoh, who is also NIMASA’s Executive Director, Finance and Administration, as President of CIoTA and expressed the readiness of his Agency to work with CIoTA and other relevant bodies to realise a viable transportation sector, which will in-turn aid economic growth and development.

In his words “In NIMASA, we have adopted collaboration as a means to achieving our mandates, because we know we cannot do it alone. The transport sector is too large, hence the need for concerted efforts, through partnerships, cannot be overstated, as this is the only way we can compete favourably with other nations in the globe,” the DG said.

Professor Pat Utomi who delivered the keynote address at the occasion with the theme, “Ensuring Competitiveness and Attractiveness in the Nigerian Transportation Sector – The Role of Professional Bodies.” emphasized that infrastructure and solid institutions were key to resolution of the challenges facing the transportation sector, saying the solution lies with professionals in the sector.

He noted that the economy depended solely on the transportation sector for growth and survival and charged the newly elected executives to come up with globally acceptable positions, which they should present to those in authority to move the transportation sector forward.

While bemoaning the gridlock in the Apapa area of Lagos, Utomi called on the professionals to work with the government in ensuring that intermodal transportation was achieved, as it will also help the economy to develop.

According to Prof Utomi “If trucks on Lagos highways could disappear because of a political rally, such trucks have no justification whatsoever to reappear”

President of CIoTA, Dr. Bashir Yusuf Jamoh stated that there was a symbiotic relationship between transportation and life. “No matter where you come from, you must use one means of transportation or another”, he said.

Jamoh said the institute was created to augment government’s efforts by proffering possible solutions to the challenges facing the transportation sector in Nigeria. He promised that CIoTA will work with relevant bodies and associations to ensure the realisation of an efficient transportation sector.

Jamoh also said the institute will in the next few months come up with some programmes and create a platform where all transport-related bodies would come together to brainstorm and share ideas with the relevant authorities for the development of the sector.

The Chairman, Board of Trustees of CIoTA Nigeria, HRM Alaiyeluwa Oba Rafiu Babatunde Balogun, Adetoyose Ejalonibu II, Elejinrin of Ejinrin Land, Lagos State; Chief Adebayo Sarumi; Otunba Kunle Folarin among other notable stakeholders in the maritime industry all agreed on the need to address the nagging traffic gridlock within Apapa.
