The event billed to take place on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, in Lagos, is organized by Transport Day Media, a monthly hard copy and daily online publication.

The discourse, which will involve industry participants from both the public and private sectors, will x-ray sustainability cutting across all modes of transportation in Nigeria.

The Editor of Transport Day Media, Mr. Frank Kintum stated that the topic is relevant in contemporary times because Nigeria cannot be left behind in the embrace of cleaner and sustainable transportation.

According to him, “We cannot run away from the fact that we have to continuously discuss and take action on issues concerning sustainable transportation because it comes with a lot of benefits in terms of cost-cutting, lifestyle and general productivity”.
He added that the annual Transport Lecture which has been held in Lagos and Abuja in the past, remains a platform for relevant stakeholders in the transport and logistics value chain to discuss and exchange ideas on key contemporary topics as they unfold.
