The collaboration aims to revolutionise the country’s transportation operations by investing in cutting-edge technologies that will generate real-time data from the system, marking a significant leap towards digitalisation, a statement by the special assistant on public affairs to the minister of transportation, Jamilu Ja’afaru on Friday noted.
The deal was struck when the Minister of Transportation, Sen Sa’idu Ahmed Alkali, visited the headquarters of Asia Arab Investment LLC in Egypt.
“The primary objective of this partnership is to harness state-of-the-art technologies to digitise and modernise the operations of Nigeria’s transportation system. By leveraging real-time data generated through these technologies, the initiative seeks to enhance operational efficiency, optimise resource allocation and facilitate informed decision-making across the entire transport network.
