INTRODUCTION
means that transportation is extremely important for the survival of the economy
(Olubomehin, 2012).
Indeed, the provision of a high quality transport system has been identified as a
urbanization process.

Inadequate transportation technologies limits a nation’s ability to utilize its natural
resources, distribute food and other finished goods, integrate the manufacturing
and agricultural sectors; and supply education, medical and other infrastructural
existing road transportation and build new infrastructure for national wealth. On
into highway expenditures have been found to help increase rural employment,
particularly in manufacturing and retail industries, and studies have shown that
new highways tend to benefit rural counties near metro areas (Brown, 1999).
Over the years before the advent of air transportation, road transport has been seen
as the fastest and the safest means of transportation when compared to rail and
water transportation. But travelling by road those years takes a lot of time and
road transport system has cleared all the nightmares of road transportation in
Nigeria. The use of appropriate traffic regulatory technologies has reduced traffic

1.6 Significance of the study
This research therefore tries to evaluate the role of technology in road transpiration
in Nigeria. Data gotten from this work will be useful in the following ways;
road transport development. It will also help the management of the Nigerian
To future researchers, it will serve as a source of useful information for their study
The most difficult part of this research project was to collect relevant statistics
the topic under study. The little material contains information which was not
updated. Moreover, the little time allotted for this work made it very difficult to
