CILT  Intensifies Effort To Engage FMOT On Developmental Programmes

The National President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport ( CILT),Nigeria  Mfon Ekong Usoro, has appealed to the Federal Ministry of Transportation to formally involve the institute in its developmental programmes.

 

Usoro made this charge at a CILT Nigeria’s seminar, themed “Strategies for Repositioning Nigeria for Exploiting AfCFTA” in Lagos where the institute also inducted some notable individuals as fellows .

 

She said “CILT’s immediate goal is to transform logistics and transport in Nigeria to align with global and continental trends, with a focus on technology, growing domestic capacity and strengthening the regulatory deficit that is a sine qua non for the growth and competitiveness of the industry.”

Usoro, a former Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) further added that CILT Nigeria will begin to publish a Logistics and Transport Advisory and Forecast on a quarterly basis, which will offer independent, objective and constructive assessment of the state of play of the Logistics and Transport industry, together with practical solutions.

 

She expressed confidence that CILT is fully equipped to be of value to the Ministry and the country as a whole, and joins the throngs of Nigerians urging the government to issue the transport policy timely.

Folorunso said “Nigeria has the potential to become the logistics hub of the continent. A change in mindset could help reposition the country to exploit this potential, by making AfCFTA a joint assignment by all, including CILT, the private and public sectors. Adequate structures should also be set up, as well as addressing the legal framework.”

 

She charged CILT to optimize its strength in the transport and logistics industry, prioritize already identified opportunities in logistics and work at strategies to implement guidelines.

 

Those inducted includes:, Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Dr. Magdalene Ajani; Director General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh and a former President of Nigeria Trawler Owners Association (NITOA) Mrs. Margaret Orakwusi.
