In line with its objective of setting agenda on issues affecting transport sector and the possible way forward, Transportation Correspondents Association of Nigeria (TCAN) has commenced plans for the 2026 edition.
The event slated for September, this year is themed: “Unlocking Economic Growth Through Transportation Logistics”
Chairman of the Association, Tola Adenubi, said that choice of theme of the event aligns with the fact that “Transport logistics remains the backbone of economic development. From cargo handling at airports and seaports to inland freight movement and last-mile delivery systems, the efficiency of Nigeria’s logistics ecosystem plays a decisive role in determining the competitiveness of the nation’s economy.”
He noted that the summit will therefore explore innovative strategies, digital transformation, infrastructure financing, public-private partnerships, and regulatory frameworks necessary to optimize the sector.
Summit Committee Chairman, Suleiman Idris explained that participants will engage in high-level panel discussions, keynote presentations, and interactive sessions designed to among others access the current state of Nigeria’s transportation logistics architecture and Identify bottlenecks hindering seamless cargo and passenger movement.
According to him, stakeholders will also examine the impact of multimodal transport integration on economic expansion, and highlight investment opportunities within the logistics and supply chain ecosystem.
Industry operators, Individuals, and corporate bodies that have contributed immensely to development of the transport industry will also be recognised at the event.
It is now noteworthy that over the years, the summit has become a credible platform for constructive dialogue between government agencies and logistic operators in the Nigerian transportation sector.
The Summit continues to shape policy conversations and promote transparency and accountability within the Nigerian transportation industry.
