Sanwo-Olu, Transport Experts to Chart Path for Integrated Mobility at GTP Summit

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, alongside industry leaders, investors, policymakers and transport stakeholders, will converge in Lagos on June 17 for the fourth edition of the Global Transport Policy (GTP) Multimodal Roundtable aimed at advancing integrated transportation in Nigeria.

The annual summit is expected to bring together more than 400 participants from across the transport sector to discuss practical solutions for building a safer, more efficient and sustainable transport system.

Speaking at a media briefing in Lagos, Segun Musa,described Governor Sanwo-Olu’s participation as a strong endorsement of transport innovation and development in Lagos State.

The summit, themed “Transforming Nigeria’s Transport System: Integrating Solutions for Safety, Efficiency and Sustainability,” will focus on strategies for creating a seamless transport network that effectively connects road, rail, waterways and aviation.

Musa stressed the need for a holistic transport system in which all modes complement one another, noting that Nigeria’s heavy reliance on road transportation continues to place significant pressure on infrastructure.

According to him, greater investment in rail and water transport is necessary to ease congestion on roads and improve the overall efficiency of the transport sector.

The event will feature discussions on key sub-themes, including investment in workforce development, seamless mobility for economic growth, and smart transport solutions for a greener future.

Also speaking at the briefing, Iyiola Oni commended the organisers for sustaining dialogue on transport integration, describing the initiative as a vital step toward modernising Nigeria’s transport system.
