The 6th Nigeria Transport Awards and Lecture holds this week Thursday, being April 26, 2018 at the Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
The Managing Director of AMCON, Mr. Ahmed Kuru is to do a comprehensive review of the corporation’s intervention in the nation’s transport sector during the event. He is expected to speak on the topic-‘AMCON’s Intervention in Transport and Allied Sector, the Achievements, Challenges, Prospects’.
Achievements recorded and the challenges faced in the repositioning of companies in the transport and allied sector by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), would be the focus of this year’s lecture.
It would be recalled that AMCON had intervened and taken over some companies in the transport and allied sector like Arik Airline, Aero Contractors and PAN Nigeria Limited among others.
The AMCON MD is also expected to react to questions and suggestions from industry stakeholders in both the public and private sectors covering all modes of transportation.
Head of Corporate Communications of AMCON, Mr. Jude Nwauzor, stated that the annual Lecture will offer the corporation a platform to review its achievements and challenges in the transport sector as well as interact with industry stakeholders.
Editor of transport day newspapers (organisers of the annual Lecture), Mr. Frank Kintum, added that “we delighted to have the MD of AMCON, who is a seasoned banker, deliver this year’s lecture as industry players are already looking forward to a very interactive session”.
It would be recalled that last year’s lecture (5th edition) was delivered by the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside. Aside the lecture, some companies and individuals are also recognised.
The Nigeria Transport Awards and Lecture is organised by Transport Day Newspaper, a monthly hard copy and on line publication (www.transportday.com.ng) and supported by the Nigerian Television Authority, Nigeria Transport Roundtable and other relevant transport stakeholders.
