The Executive Director, Operations and Technical Services, Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Warredi Enisuoh; the former Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Dr Richard Aisuebeogun and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CITA Energies, Dr Thomas Ogungbangbe, are among the dignitaries whowill participate at a transport summit scheduled for today in Lagos.

While Enisooh has been appointed as Chairman of the occasion, Aisuebeogun would deliver the keynote address at the summit with the theme: ‘Navigating Global Disruptions and the Road Ahead: Mobility, Energy and Trade Facilitation for a Resilient Future.’

Also, Ogungbangbe, is expected to provide an energy-sector perspective, focusing on the implications of oil-market disruptions, energy supply challenges and the relationship between reliable energy, infrastructure investment and the operational sustainability of transport systems.

Besides, a transport specialist from the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Dr Femi Aiyegbajeje, would lead discussions on mobility systems, transport planning, and the development of an integrated and sustainable transportation network through effective rail connectivity capable of withstanding global disruptions.

Commenting on the event, the Managing Director of JustAlive Communications Limited, Pearl Ngwama, said the summit was conceived as a platform for industry players, policymakers, and other stakeholders to examine emerging challenges in transportation and develop practical solutions to build a more resilient transport ecosystem.

Ngwama said the discussions would address the impact of global disruptions on Nigeria’s transportation system, with particular attention to mobility, infrastructure development, energy security, trade facilitation and the implications of international economic and operational developments for the country.

She explained that the objective was to facilitate robust, solution-oriented deliberations that could generate actionable recommendations to support the development of a more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready transport sector.

She added: “The summit’s theme indicates the growing interdependence of transportation, energy supply chains and international trade, where disruptions in one segment can trigger operational and economic consequences across the wider value chain.

“For Nigeria, the challenge extends beyond providing transport infrastructure to ensuring the effective integration of road, rail, aviation, maritime and inland waterways systems.

“Other critical considerations include the protection of strategic assets, reliable energy supply, efficient cargo movement and policies that encourage private-sector investment while improving service delivery.”
