Lagos, as one of the most populous cities in Africa, has a vast network of roads connecting it internally and to other parts of Nigeria. The road infrastructure consists of federal, state, and local roads, some of which form part of international routes under the Trans-African Highway network.
The railway was also intended to promote trade between Nigeria and other countries, making the train port trade a major part of Nigeria's colonial economy. The railway network expanded over the next few decades, and by the time Nigeria gained independence in 1960, there were over 3,000 kilometers of railway lines in the country. [2]
Before 1979, there existed only a Transportation Unit in the planning division of the old Ministry of Works and Planning. Under the administration of Late Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the growth of traffic in the metropolis posed logistic challenges that could no longer be served by a sub-stratum of the Ministry and that led to the creation of the Ministry of Transportation in Lagos State.
The Ministry of Transportation is a branch of the federal government of Nigeria responsible for watching the movement of people and goods across the country. Sa'idu Ahmed Alkali is the Minister of Transportation. [2] The ministry oversees road vehicles, aviation, and rail transport. [3] [4]
