This explains why the Federal Government of Nigeria established the NITT 25 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Without transport, our agricultural production which is the mainstay of the Nigerian economy will remain subsistence because there will be no need to produce beyond family consumption.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Health care service delivery will be impossible without transportation, just as city development and settlement would have been difficult. We all use transport for the defence of the nation and you can go on to name other areas of life that will suffer without transportation&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Yusuf, however, expressed regret that not many Nigerians care to know about the important role transport plays in the development of the economy, polity, social interaction and integration.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking earlier, leader of the team from the University, Dr. Ibrahim Jaro, said the visit was to expose students studying Transport Geography in the university to the facilities in the institute.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jaro said the choice of NITT for the facility tour was premised on the fact that the Institute remained the only centre for multimodal transport education, training and research development in Nigeria and the West African sub-region.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211;
