The National President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation (CILT), Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, and the Dean of the School of Transportation and Logistics, Lagos State University (LASU), Prof. Ogochukwu Ugboma, are set to headline the 12th edition of the Nigeria Transport Lecture (NTL) scheduled for Thursday, June 18, 2026, in Lagos.
The annual lecture is organised by Transport Day Media, a specialised media platform focused on transportation and logistics reporting and analysis.
Both speakers will address participants on the theme: “Multi-modal Transportation Safety in Nigeria: Prospects, Challenges & Contribution to National Growth.”
The event, which will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, 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 former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside; former Federal Permanent Secretary, Dr. Anthonia Ekpa; former Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi; and the current Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Dr. Kayode Opeifa, among others.
Speaking on this year’s edition, the Editor of Transport Day Media, Mr. Frank Kintum, 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,” he said.
Kintum 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.
