Transportation for any country is a vital aspect of its social and economic life; it enhances trade needs whereby the country’s manufacturing, industrial tourism and distribution needs are served. Therefore, a vibrant, responsive, effective and efficient transport system will enhance Nigeria’s economic, developmental and strategic roles in the global system/economy. It is for this reason that Transport has been accorded high priority in the country and the Federal Ministry of Transport is charged with the responsibility of delivering a transport sector that is capable of meeting the needs of a modern, competitive, industrial economy.

Therefore, our paper will dwell on the existing situation /challenges that are present in these areas.
