Railways, waterway and road transportation are key and germane to economic growth and development. This is even more so in a country with estimated population of 130 million, growth at an annual average of 3%. The movement of people, goods and services in Nigeria will continue to be a challenge, which cannot be met efficiently and cost effectively by road transportation alone. The continuous neglect of railways and waterways by successive governments is bad policy, which has led to crisis in our transportation system, with planes routinely falling from the skies and absolute chaos reigning on our roads. This situation is unwise and unsustainable if Nigeria truly aspires to sustainable economic growth and development.
Objectives
The objective of our party in the transport sector is to create a safe, efficient, cost effective and integrated transport system through:- Modernization and expansion of railways and waterways and placing them at the centre of movement of people, goods and services.
- Regular maintenance and expansion of roads.
- Efficient and properly regulated aviation sector to dominate regional and continental routes.
