Road Transport Policy Reforms in Nigeria: A Case of Underdeveloped Infrastructure
The study investigated the extent of road transport reform implementation in Nigeria with intention to assess the extent of road network infrastructural development in Nigeria. The study made use of both primary and secondary data. The population for the study consisted of 2683 civil servants. Primary data were obtained through the administration of a set of questionnaires, structure interviews, and observation to elicit information from the respondents. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted. Three zones and two strategic state capitals were purposively chosen from each zone, thus: from the North-Central zone (Ilorin and Lokoja), south-west zone (Akure and Ibadan), and south-south zone (Asaba and Benin). For the Senior Civil Servants, a set of questionnaires was administered using a proportional random sampling technique. In this case, 268 copies, representing 10% of the Senior Civil Servants was considered appropriate. Structured interview was conducted with six directors (Ministry of Works (3), Ministry of Transport (2), and Federal Road Maintenance Agency (1)).
