Nigerian Transport System

Nigeria’s transport system includes road, rail, air, and waterways that facilitate movement within and outside the country. Road transport is the most common, featuring buses, taxis, and private vehicles connecting cities and rural areas, though infrastructure can be inconsistent. The rail network is limited but expanding to improve freight and passenger service. Air travel is vital for domestic and international flights, with major airports in Lagos and Abuja. Waterways along rivers like the Niger and Benue support cargo and passenger movement, especially in regions with challenging road access. Overall, Nigeria’s transport system is evolving to address infrastructure gaps and boost economic growth.
