    Assessment of the Flows of Passenger Movement at Nigeria International Terminal from 2007 to 2015
    (Redeemer’s University Journal of Management and Social Sciences,, 2022) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
    This paper provides an assessment of the flows of passenger movement at the Nigeria International terminal between 2007-2015. The need to sustain flow across the various geopolitical zones encourages the establishment of the international terminal, which spans the geopolitical zone of the country; however, the characteristics and pattern of flow of these terminals are yet to be established. Therefore, this research provides the longitudinal dimension of assessment for ten years to examine the pattern of passenger flows and contribution to national development and cohesion. The methodology involves a longitudinal trend evaluation for ten years across the eight international terminals in the country. The data were analysed with descriptive statisics such as percentages. The study reveals variation inflows across the terminal as some recorded a spontaneous increase in the passenger flow pattern, while some were erratic and inconsistent for the years considered. The last pattern reveals a stagnant trend across the period. Generally, there were significant improvements in passenger flows. The most terminal in the study provides consistent benefits for the purpose of their establishment and contributes to Nigeria's national integration and national development.

    Assessment of the Influence of Lagos Bus Rapid Transit Scheme (BRT-Lite) on Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) on Lagos Mainland-Island Corridor
    (The Open Transportation Journal, 2017) Ajayi, Adeyinka
    Background: This paper filled an important gap in the on-going global assessment of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operations on Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) safety outcomes on corridors plied. Introduction: The work carried out a scientific investigation of the impact of Lagos BRT-Lite(Africa’s first and only BRT scheme) on the achievement of a possible reduction in the incidences of RTC on the 22-kilometer radial highway that connects Mile12 and Lagos Island the traditional central business district. Methodology: Secondary data on the incidences of RTC on the corridor between 2002 and 2013 were obtained from Nigeria Police. One-way Analysis of variance between subjects revealed that the advent of BRT operations on the corridor do not have any significant effect in the reported cases of the three categories of RTC examined. Minor (p=. 783), Serious (p= .887) and Fatal (p= .826). Data Analysis: Descriptive statistics, however, showed that there has been a general reduction in the incidences of all categories of RTC considered in the period after the commencement of BRT on the corridor. Conclusion: The paper concludes by positing that while it might be far-fetched to imply a direct causal relationship between the introduction of BRT and reduction in the cases of RTC on the corridor, it may not be far to suggest that it has definitely impacted safety outcomes as it relates to RTC.
