What really is Transportation
 Transportation is generally described as the movement of people, goods and
services from one point to the other; for me I believe, it is the management of
the process of the free flow of goods, services, people, products, investments and
trade.
 It is the spatial management of the factors of mobility related to production
including men, machine and money for the economic growth of the people.
 Therefore transportation is not only of multimodal systems such as Rail, Road,
Sea (Maritime), Air but also include pipeline systems, logistics management and
the associated supply chain management, factors of economic integration and
globalization which by extension may include ICT deployment and some elements
of telecommunication.

What really is Transportation (continued)
 The interface between transportation and economic development has a
broad ramification that goes beyond transportation’s basic purpose of
managing the movement of goods, people and resources from one place
to another.
 Transportation is critical in the operation of a market economy.
 Efficient transportation is key for productivity and economic growth.
 Policy concern in the next 20, 30 years will increasingly focus on the
effects of transportation as it will affect where people live and on where
businesses locate; and on the effects that these location decisions have
on land use patterns, use of national resources, air and water quality,
and the overall quality of life.
 And key to this will be the Level of Transportation Infrastructure

What really is Transportation (continued)
 Transportation links together the factors of production in a
complex web of relationships between producers (Agriculture,
manufacturing, production) and consumers (people, tourism,
entertainment, financial services, real estate etc).
 The productivity in space, capital and labour is thus enhanced
with the efficiency of distribution and personal mobility
 Efficiency in the Transportation System is greatly enhanced by the
Level of Transportation Infrastructure.

What do we mean by Transportation infrastructure
Transportation Infrastructure refers to the basic physical and organizational structures needed
for the operation of the entire transport system or enterprise or the services and facilities
necessary for transportation to function. It can be generally defined as the set of interconnected
structural elements that provide framework supporting the entire transport systems.
Viewed functionally it facilitates the production of goods and services, and also the distribution
of finished products to markets, for example, roads enable the transport of raw materials to a
factory.
A comprehension of tranportation infrastructure spans not only these public works facilities,
but also the operating procedures, management practices, and development policies that interact
together with societal demand and the physical world to facilitate the transport of people and
goods, services where it is needed, and transmission of information within and between
communities."
Infrastructure systems include both the fixed assets, and the control systems, software required
to operate, manage and monitor the systems, as well as any accessory buildings, plants, or
vehicles that are an essential part of the system.

What do we mean by transportation infrastructure
Also included are fleets of vehicles operating according to schedules such as public
transit buses and garbage collection as well as communications facilities that are not
usually part of a physical network
Studies in Nigeria’s economy also suggest that transport cost form a significant
proportion of the final price of most goods in the country be it in agriculture,
manufacturing, mining, crude oil land consequently a good determinant in the
equation for the determination of the value of money.
On the average transport accounts for more than 30% of the value of the delivered
product.
This high cost is attributable to the inadequacy and inefficiency in Nigeria transport
infrastructure.

WHAT THEN IS THE ROLE OF THE LASG AND THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION
Based on our State Transportation POLICY Thrust, working through the agencies and other ministries
we have developed a State Wide Strategic Transportation Master Plan (STMP) and have developed
with infrastructure to:

ensure sustained economic growth and development

link people to Jobs

deliver products to markets

underpin supply chains and logistics

promote domestic and international trade

promote tourism

reduce poverty (reduce transport fares, better accessibility, support non motorized trips)

improve quality of life ( be environment friendly, reduce congestion, reduce pollution
