Former Ogun State Governor and Senator representing Ogun East, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has praised President Bola Tinubu’s administration for its investments in road infrastructure, airport redevelopment and mass transportation, saying sustained presidential support is crucial to transforming Nigeria’s transport and logistics sector.
Daniel made the remarks on Wednesday in Abuja while serving as Special Guest of Honour and Chief Launcher at the 2026 National Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), Nigeria.
The former governor commended the Federal Government’s efforts to upgrade critical transport infrastructure and improve connectivity, citing road projects, the modernisation of bus terminals, airport redevelopment and deep-sea port initiatives as developments capable of improving mobility, facilitating trade and stimulating economic growth.
He urged Nigerians to recognise the importance of leadership and political commitment in delivering major infrastructure projects, stressing that sustained support at the highest level of government was necessary to advance the country’s transportation and logistics systems.
Daniel also paid tribute to Nigeria’s service chiefs, acknowledging their contributions to national security and the protection of critical transportation and logistics corridors.
A key highlight of the conference was the launch of CILT Nigeria’s 2025 conference proceedings, titled Enhancing Logistics and Transport for Sustainable Blue Economy.
The publication examines the role of efficient transport systems and logistics infrastructure in unlocking Nigeria’s maritime economic potential while promoting sustainable development.
The conference brought together stakeholders in the logistics and transportation sector to discuss ways to strengthen the industry, improve connectivity and harness opportunities within the country’s blue economy.
