The Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC) is collaborating with Motor Vehicle Administration Academy (MVAA) to promote an efficient and effective transport system in Nigeria.

Dr Pauline Osasna, the Assistant Chief ICT with the Council, told newsmen on Thursday in Abuja that they are in partnership to host the Transport and Logistics Excellence Award (TLEA) to encourage excellence in the sector.

According to her, “we have always been in synergy with any organisation that promotes the economy of Nigeria in the transport sector.

“We work together with a lot of organisation, we cooperate with them and whenever we can lend a hand, we usually do.”

She said that the transport sector was key to the development of the country.

Osasna said the award was for stakeholders who have done well in the sector by way of employment and infrastructure development.

On his part, Mr Segun Obayendo, the CEO of Motor Vehicle Administration Academy and the Convener of TLEA revealed that the award was conceived with the sole aim of recognising individuals and any entity that has made impact.
