A research team from the Lagos State University (LASU) School of Transport and Logistics, has won a research grant worth SEK100,000 (Swedish Krona, about N4.2 million) for a proposal submitted to the Volvo Educational and Research Foundation (VREF).

According to a statement from the transport school yesterday, said the research is titled ‘A Study of the Causal Relationship between Quadruple Governance Authorities and the Perennial Traffic in Apapa Port Area of Lagos State, Nigeria’.

Following the award, the VREF has named LASU transport school led by Professor Samuel Odewunmi a Centre of Excellence for Transport Research and Education.

Vice Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, congratulated the team for their success, which she said has further strengthened LASU’s place as a research and innovation hub.

She also described the stride as a significant step in the race to becoming the best university in West Africa, promising to give the team all needed support in executing the project.  

The VREF is the collective name for four foundations that collaborate to finance research and education in the areas of transportation, environment, and energy. 

The four VREF foundations are: the Volvo Research Foundation, the Volvo Educational Foundation, the Dr. Pehr G. Gyllenhammar Foundation, and the Håkan Frisinger Foundation for Transport Research.

The foundations through VREF focused on the area of Future Urban Transport (FUT) with the subtitle, ‘How to deal with complexity’.

VREF is tax-exempt in accordance with Swedish law, which means the foundations aim to serve the public good.
