Under the leadership of Hon. Peter Eze, the committee is focused on ensuring compliance with regulations and pushing for necessary reforms within the transportation sector. This initiative comes at a critical time when the sector faces challenges, including outdated practices and inefficiencies that hinder growth.
During the recent engagement, Hon.

The dialogue with SURCON and NITT is expected to yield actionable insights that could enhance safety, efficiency, and overall service delivery in transportation across Nigeria.
Looking ahead, the committee's proactive stance signals a commitment to reform that could transform the sector, potentially attracting investment and improving infrastructure. As stakeholders work together, the anticipated changes could pave the way for a more sustainable and responsive transport system, benefiting both the economy and the general populace.
