The third quarter of 2025 marked a defining period for Nigeria’s transportation sector, characterised by decisive policy action, bold infrastructure strides, and the slow but steady implementation of reforms with real impact. The Senate’s advancement of the Electric Vehicle Transition and Green Mobility Bill set the stage for a cleaner, locally driven transport future.
At the same time, the launch of Nigeria’s first indigenous container vessel by Clarion Shipping signalled growing self-reliance in maritime logistics. In parallel, partnerships in aviation and marine transport gained traction, reemphasising Nigeria’s rising influence in regional mobility.
Lagos, in particular, emerged as a beacon of sustainability, as it hosted Africa’s first E1 Electric Boat Racing Championship and equally expanded its electric ride-hailing ecosystem. Together with ongoing rail rehabilitation and the nationwide push for CNG adoption, these initiatives reflect a sector aligning with global standards. As Q3 built on the momentum of earlier reforms, it set the tone for a fourth quarter focused on execution.
