CHAPTER ONE:
1.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY
Transportation infrastructures (roads, rail, airport and seaport) are the arteries for of free flow of people, goods and information, three thing necessary on a manufacturing and export economy.
If the eyes are the light to human soul, then the airports and seaport are the eye that international business travelers see a country with how important these transportation infrastructures are to the manufacturing economy is as good as anybody can guess. But that will not stop me from talking about it.
The domestic need for transportation infrastructure brings with it the possibility to become an important talks link in the regional transportation system in the movement of goods manufactured in the rural areas (where most manufacturing facilities should be located anyway) there is a need revive water ways and railways transportation, the age-long neglect of these transportation infrastructures cannot continue, if Nigeria want to become a manufacturing giant without well connected inner perimeter roads linking airports, seaports and railway stations.
Government cannot possibly do all these without the inducement of private entrepreneurs in the building of transportation infrastructures, such as the management of airports, railroads, seaports and state collection of tolls for the maintenance of perimeter. Roads and highways for Nigeria to reach the goal of becoming a manufacturing economy in 2020 (what we at Nigerian entrepreneural leadership call 24 hours economy) the country must attend to the glaring and urgent need of using water and rail means of transport to reduce pressure on the road system and boost productive activities and employment country wide, especially in the rural areas.
The neglect of rail and waterways for decades has contributed to the nation dependence on food importation, as agricultural produce from the part of the country cannot be transported cheaply to other parts lack of cheap means of transportation has discouraged many farmers whose harvests perished because they could not access the market. Also the nation has continued to record the same socio-economic loss from the failure to expand railway network to all the states, so that agricultural produce could be moved cheaply to urban markets. Rural development proclamation will just be that. Proclamation unless transportation infrastructure network is build to encourage free flow of people and goods.
More disappointing is the inability to maintain the existing north-south colonial rail track fro the movement of goods. This is major reason for the amalgamation of the north and the south by the colonial masters fro their easy management of movement of goods.
For a long period, rural Nigerian have been cut out from the urban markets and the global markets. It is time to put this piece of the mosaic back for the accomplishment of vision 2020 manufacturing economy.
Together we can build a nation where it economic strength this comparable to its individual citizens capabilities. A 2020 Nigeria economy where manufacturing is the driving force.
1.1 STATEMENT OF GENERAL PROBLEMS
Until very recently the role of transport and distribution has either to been treated with the waves of hands, this is why most of very so phisticated railway.
Air methods, sea transport and rural feeds roads lack of maintenance and proper management.
Investigation revealed that the company, the (subject matter) had found it difficult to see to the transport and distribution as an entity of capable of making meaningful contributions to its profit orientation for this reason, the transport and distribution had been swept under the carpet by the management of Global Industries limited.
This is a problem to be seriously addressed by the majority of majority of manufacturing companies due to the rapid development of the management of an organization.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of research work is primarily in fulfillment of condition necessary for the award of National Diploma (ND) in Business Studies in Institute of Financial and management Studies, Kwara state Polytechnic, Ilorin. The research work has been of importance both to the general public as a whole.
The researcher has gained a lot of practical knowledge from the research work and exposed to the happening in the industrial sector and this has instilled some confidence and actions skills in the researcher. The researcher professional minds has been positively influenced, also the researchers sense of awareness as regard the role of transport is rightly utilized.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The research work is based on the roles of transports is the distribution of goods and services in Nigerian with consideration to the transport and distribution section of industries. The significance of this research work centers on the core areas of transportation of goods and services like raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. It covers the review definition of terms used in the course of the project work, the project work will review the survival effects of the research work on the organization and offers appropriate advice its contribution to the business organization as a whole.
1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Reliable researches are very useful to come by in Nigerian and the conduct of this research work. The researcher was faced with a lot of problems which almost threatened the success of the research work.
This is due to the following reasons
LACK OF DATA: There is no adequate statistics on essential issues to aid in getting adequate and reliable result. Lack of data in various area of business activities has implied this research work.
BUSINESS SECRECY PROBLEM: Respondents d no like to give information that will aid research works. People do not want to give data on prices of their products, profits they normally make and even the income they earn.
