Renowned transport and logistics expert Dr. Segun Musa has been appointed chairman of the 12th edition of the Nigeria Transport Lecture, set to take place in Lagos on June 18, 2026.
Organised by Transport Day newspaper, this year’s lecture will centre on the theme Multi-modal Transportation Safety in Nigeria: Prospects, Challenges and Contribution to National Growth.
Musa, Chairman and Managing Director of Widescope Logistics International, is widely respected for his decades of experience in transportation, logistics, and supply chain management.
The event will feature a keynote presentation by Mr. Kingsley Onyekachi Igwe, Registrar of the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN).
Held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, the lecture is expected to draw key stakeholders from the public and private sectors to deliberate on critical safety issues, policy reforms, and strategies for strengthening Nigeria’s multi-modal transportation network.
Other notable speakers include Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, National President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation (CILT), Prof. Ogochukwu Ugboma, Dean of the School of Transportation and Logistics, Lagos State University (LASU), and Otunba Joseph Osanipin, Director-General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC).
Over the years, the Nigeria Transport Lecture has become a leading industry platform, bringing together policymakers, regulators, academics, and business leaders to address challenges confronting Nigeria’s transport and logistics sector.
Previous editions have featured distinguished personalities such as former NIMASA Director-General Dr. Dakuku Peterside, former Federal Permanent Secretary Dr. Anthonia Ekpa, and Nigerian Railway Corporation Managing Director Dr. Kayode Opeifa.
Ahead of the event, Transport Day Media Editor Mr. Frank Kintum said the annual lecture has become a vital platform for industry stakeholders to examine emerging issues and develop practical solutions for the transport sector.
He noted that this year’s focus on multi-modal transportation safety was driven by the growing integration of road, rail, maritime, and air transport systems, emphasising that safety must remain central to efforts to modernise the sector.
As governments continue to invest in transport infrastructure and interconnectivity, safety cannot be treated as an afterthought. The success and sustainability of these investments depend largely on how effectively safety concerns are addressed across all modes of transport, Kintum stated.
He added that the lecture is part of Transport Day Media’s broader mission to encourage policy dialogue, knowledge sharing, and industry collaboration aimed at building a safer, more efficient, and globally competitive transport and logistics ecosystem in Nigeria and the wider African region.
