    • Institute inducts 151 New Members, Associate Members

    The Chartered Institute of Transport Administration (CIOTA) Nigeria, has attributed the gross inefficiency and chaotic state of the nation’s transport system to a huge participation of non-professionals, even as the Institute inducted 151 new members and associate members, yesterday.

    CIOTA President, Dr. Bashir Jamoh made this remark at the Institute’s mid-year membership induction ceremony which held at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), Yaba, Lagos, where he encouraged more private and public operators to join the Institute with a charter and expertise to instill professionalism.

    Speaking with News Diet at the event, Dr. Jamoh said: “There is a huge need for CIOTA to do more training and retraining of those involved in transport business in Nigeria. The membership of the Institute shouldn’t be restricted to public organizations alone because private operators also have a lot to gain. Professionalism brings productivity, efficiency and enhances performance.”

    “I urge CIoTA leadership and all members of the Institute to increase the sensitization and awareness because it appears that Nigerians are yet to become abreast of the realities on the issue of professionalism in transportation.”

    Meanwhile, he expressed delight that professionalism in nation’s transport sector has taken a positive leap as 58 new members and 93 new associate members were inducted into the Institute at the event chaired by His Royal Majesty, Oba Rafiu Ishola Balogun, FInstTA, the Elejinrin of Ejirinrin Land.

    While delivering the keynote address, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde stressed that professionalism through a well-structured training is fundamental to ensuring that practitioners are well-endowed to operate within the tenets of the profession.

    Oladeinde further posited that professionalism definitely has a direct bearing on the development of the country, but he opined that local content also has its place as Nigerian transport woes require solutions tailored to the peculiar scenarios.

    His words: “Transport professionals devise strategies to improve transport mobility by designing new systems and upgrading existing networks. They also examine the impact of new developments on transport systems by modes, with a view to improve accessibility, thereby, ensuring that essential facilities such as schools, hospitals, major employment areas, recreation areas and shops can be reached via the transport system.”

    “Across the World, professionals are the engine driving sustainable infrastructure and services towards the development of the nation and overall global business competitiveness.”

    In his remarks, the Deputy President, CIOTA, Dr. Darlington Ofor stated that CIoTA has always played the leading role in ensuring the development of the transport sector across all the modes and he urged transport stakeholders to continue to collaborate for thel utilization of professional expertise in the sector.
