Executive Director, Operations and Technical Services, Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Capt. Warredi Enisuoh, has been appointed chairman of the second JustNet Transport Summit scheduled for October 23, in Lagos.

Also, former Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and transport expert, Dr Richard Aisuebeogun; Chief Executive Officer of CITA Energies, Dr Thomas Ogungbangbe and University of Lagos Senior Lecturer and transport specialist, Dr Femi Aiyegbajeje, will join other industry figures to deliberate on strategies for strengthening Nigeria’s transport and logistics sector amid global disruptions.

Organised by JustAlive Communications Limited, publishers of JustNet News and PR consultants, the one-day summit will hold at Providence Hotel, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, with  the theme: ‘Navigating Global Disruptions and the Road Ahead: Mobility, Energy and Trade Facilitation for a Resilient Future.’

The event is expected to attract policymakers, regulators, transport operators, infrastructure developers, energy professionals, academics and other stakeholders across the aviation, maritime, road, rail, inland waterways, energy and logistics sectors.

Discussions will focus on the effects of global disruptions on Nigeria’s transportation industry and practical measures to improve its resilience, efficiency and competitiveness.

Enisuoh, popularly known as the “Double Captain” because of his experience in maritime and aviation sectors, is expected to bring a security and critical infrastructure protection perspective to the deliberations.

His operational responsibilities at Tantita Security Services, a major pipeline surveillance and security company, are expected to enrich discussions on protecting strategic national assets, safeguarding energy infrastructure, ensuring energy security and facilitating the uninterrupted movement of people and goods.

These issues have become increasingly important as disruptions to energy supply chains and critical infrastructure continue to affect transportation, trade and economic activities.

As keynote speaker, Aisuebeogun is expected to examine the challenges confronting Nigeria’s transport sector amid global disruptions and outline possible responses. His address would explore issues relating to transport infrastructure, institutional governance, operational efficiency and the strategic role of aviation in facilitating trade and economic development.

Besides, Aiyegbajeje, a senior lecturer in the Department of Geography at the University of Lagos, is expected to bring an academic and technical perspective to discussions on mobility systems, transport planning and the development of an integrated and sustainable transportation network via effective rail connectivity capable of withstanding global disruptions.

His participation would complement the contributions of industry practitioners by highlighting the need for effective transport planning and better integration of Nigeria’s different modes of transportation.

In a statement issued at the weekend, the Managing Director of JustAlive Communications Limited, Mrs Pearl Ngwama, said the summit was conceived as a platform for industry players, policymakers and other stakeholders to examine emerging challenges in transportation and develop practical solutions for building a more resilient transport ecosystem.

Ngwama said the discussions would address the impact of global disruptions on Nigeria’s transportation system, with particular attention to mobility, infrastructure development, energy security, trade facilitation and the implications of international economic and operational developments for the country.

She explained that the objective was to facilitate robust, solution-oriented deliberations capable of generating actionable recommendations to support the development of a more efficient, sustainable and future-ready transport sector.

According to her, the summit’s theme indicates the growing interdependence of transportation, energy supply chains and international trade, where disruptions in one segment can trigger operational and economic consequences across the wider value chain.
