- ItemIntermodal Transportation System in an Evolving Economy(2018) Irinyemi, AdemolaIn spite of the fact that Nigeria is variously endowed with natural resources for multi-modal transport system operation, majority of the people use pre dominantly only one mode of transport (road) in situations where integration of the different modes will bring flexibility, safety (of persons, infrastructure, goods and environment), efficiency, effectiveness and conducive economic competition. The inability to fully and reasonably integrate the various modes of transport does also brought increase in mobility problems, such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, preventable accidents, and untimely damage to roads, criminal inclination, incessantly increase in operational cost. This paper discusses the necessity and importance of integrated transport system in an inter – modal (multi modal) arrangement which primarily involves road, rail, air and sea (inland waterway). An intermodal co-ordination which focuses mainly on public transport system based on public/private participation will also be discussed within the purview and space of this paper. Methodology employed in the study involve primary and secondary data, primary data in form of personal interviews conducted and observation while secondary data are deduced from previous publications like academic journals, research papers, newspapers, public/private agencies and others.
- ItemINLAND WATER WAY TRANSPORTATION AS SAFETY AND ECONOMIC INTERVENTION PROJECT IN LAGOS(2024-06) Irinyemi, AdemolaThis study investigated the Lagos Inland Water Transportation from its perspectives as both safety and economic intervention project. The study objectives were availability, extent of use, safety and economic viability of this mode of transportation. The study made use of descriptive research design where both primary and secondary data were utilized. The researcher developed the study instruments to collect primary data from study respondents. Population for the study was 1400 respondents working in the inland water/maritime sub-sectors. Sample for the study was 140 respondents determined through the use of Yaro-Yemeni formular to reduce sampling error to the barest minimum. Statistical mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. From the analysed data, it was revealed that there were unresolved issues about policy, investment, safety, economic viability among others. Based on these revelations, it was recommended that both Lagos State and the Federal governments should close ranks, work together to formulate and enforce quality policy, public/private investment synergy should be embraced, operators should take issues of safety more serious while being aware of need to make the sector viable and motivating, seeing its capital-intensive nature as both a challenge and an actuator
- ItemTHE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE (A CASE STUDY OF BISWAL COMPANY LIMITED, KANO STATE)(2024-06) Irinyemi, AdemolaThis research investigated the impact of traffic congestion on supply chain performance. The primary purpose of the study is to examine the effect of road traffic congestion on the supply chain performance of Biswal Company Limited. Specifically, the study evaluated the causes of road traffic, assessed the effect of road traffic on supply chain performance, examined the effect of road traffic on customer service and assessed the effect of road traffic on productivity. The study adopted a case study survey research design. Findings from this study reveal that the correlation between road traffic congestion and supply chain performance is significant (r = 0.567), indicating a robust linear relationship. The R-squared value of 0.147 suggests that 14.7% of the variation in road traffic congestion can be explained by supply chain performance. The results indicated that road traffic congestion affected supply chain performance positively and significantly (F = 8.465, p = 0.005). There is also a significant correlation between the proxies. Based on these results, appropriate recommendations were made. Keywords: Customer Service, Productivity, Supply chain performance, Traffic Congestion.
- ItemFreight Safety in Freight Forwarding Business in Nigeria: The Challenges and Preventive Measure(Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2019) Irinyemi, AdemolaOver the years, water transportation has been a major way of carrying over 90 percent of the physical carriage of Nigeria’s external trade . “The reason behind this overwhelming dominance of water transportation, compared with others can be seen in over congestion of most of our sea ports in Nigeria, even in other countries of the world, can be seen in the over congestion of most of our sea ports in Nigeria.”However, the issue of safety and security in the maritime industry is a serious and complex one. The economic losses arising from security lapse in most of our ports in Nigeria have become unacceptable in today’s commercial climate. The most noticeable distruptions in our present day commercial climate arein the form of kidnapping, terrorism, theft of valuable cargoes, politically motivated crimes. In maritime business world, the undisputed facts are that, loss prevention mechanism which include security, safety, fire and risk management are top priority concerns. This paper has however attempted to analyze the contributing factors to insecurity in most of our seaports in Nigeria. And how insecurity in Nigeria sea can be curtailed or eradicated with the enabling laws governing the usage, management and control of the Nigeria sea ports.
