Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, alongside key industry stakeholders, policymakers, investors, academics, and transport experts, is set to participate in the fourth edition of the Global Transport Policy (GTP) Multimodal Roundtable aimed at advancing Nigeria’s transportation sector.
The annual transport summit, scheduled to hold on June 17, 2026, in Lagos, will serve as a platform for robust discussions on the role of integrated transportation systems in driving economic growth, enhancing connectivity, and improving mobility across the country.
The event is expected to bring together leading voices from both the public and private sectors to explore practical solutions to the challenges facing Nigeria’s transport infrastructure. Discussions will focus on developing a seamless multimodal transportation network that effectively connects road, rail, waterways, and aviation systems to boost efficiency and support sustainable development.
Organisers of the summit said the gathering will provide stakeholders with the opportunity to exchange ideas, share best practices, and identify innovative strategies for strengthening the nation’s transport ecosystem. The forum is also expected to address policy frameworks, investment opportunities, infrastructure financing, and the role of technology in modernising transport operations.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, whose administration has prioritised transportation reforms through investments in rail, road, and water transport projects, is expected to highlight Lagos State’s efforts in promoting an integrated mobility system as part of its broader development agenda.
Experts believe that an efficient and interconnected transport network is critical to unlocking economic opportunities, facilitating trade, reducing logistics costs, and improving the quality of life for citizens.
The GTP Multimodal Roundtable has continued to grow in significance as a leading platform for transport policy dialogue in Nigeria, bringing together stakeholders committed to building a more resilient, inclusive, and economically viable transportation system for the future.
