THE PROBLEMS OF ROAD
TRANSPORTATION IN EDO STATE, EGOR AS A CASE STUDY
ABSTRACT
This project work
examine the problems of road transportation in Edo State, Egor as a case study.
The objective of the study includes to examine the role of road transportation.
And the problems of road transportation. The method used in collecting data was
the questionnaires. The method used for data analysis is the simple percentage,
the mode of findings in Egor Local Government Area in Egor LGA is road
transport. And the transportation problems in Egor Local Government Area

1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
One of the major challenges to the economic and social well being of Nigeria in
the past five years is the steady decline in the number of transport facilities
nation wide resulting to road transportation problem. Nigeria is presently on
the average of an imminent crisis and a state of paralysis of transportation.
This is particularly manifested in the problems experienced in mass transit in
rural areas as well as in urban areas. Road are very important to us. We travel
from place to place along them on foot, on bicycles, by cars etc. our food and
other goods come to us along roads, from the market in a near by villages, from
the factories in our towns and cities or from far away countries.
The most important means of conveying passengers and goods in Nigeria is road
transportation. Early roads were built in the middle east soon after the
invention of wheel and internal combustion engine in about 3000BC as trade
developed between towns and villages,. More roads were constructed. The Romans,
Eurasians, Egyptians, Etruscans and Carthaginians were known as the earliest
roads builders modern. Road construction in Nigeria is relatively a recent foot
path developments were in existence before the coming of the missionaries. Some
of these routes were developed as motorable roads in order to supplement the
roles of railways system. There are narrower tarred roads between the towns and
there are thousands of small untarred roads that join one village to another
all over Nigeria. Road has become a major problem linkage between city to city.
The untarred road and high rate of pole holes has caused a great damages to
many values leading to lake in fares and most of the available goods carried or
transported to our town. To a near by village are often expensive. In Egor LGA,
the popular means of transportation is road. A lot of economic activities have
been hindered due to bad road leading to shortage of vehicle, and like in
fares. People find it difficult to move from one place to another even along
footpaths as a result of water that has accumulated all over the place.
transportation has become unbearable to the people within Egor LGA by and
large, it is imperative to note that the rapid growth of our nations, the
problem of urbanization, the growth of industries and our commitment to rural
development are factors that call for an effective implementation of the
national transportation coordination policy.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Over the years a lot of attention and considerable efforts have been directed
at improving road transport in Nigeria as a whole but these roads having been
commissioned are left uncared for with holes and cracks doting the highways.
Though a lot of money has been spent to promote a smooth good road, the
Nigerian factor will not allow the assigned officials to carryout such jobs
until the roads become a “death trap” inspite of millions invest on the nation
road over the years. This research therefore seeks to investigate the problems
of road transportation.
1.
What are the problems of road transportation in the area?
2.
What are the causes of road transportation in the area?
3.
What are the effects of road transportation in the area?
1.3
OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
This research work is
set out to investigate road transportation in Egor Local Government Area, Edo
State and which have hindered movement of people goods and services. It is also
to examine the concept of road transportation, identify or examine the roles of
road transportation, examine the problems of road transportation, examine the
causes and effects of road transportation and proffer solutions to the problem
of road transportation.
1.4
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study will cover
Egor LGA of Edo State. It will focus on the problems of road transportation in
the area.
1.5
RESEARCH QUESTIONS/HYPOTHESIS
In order to
investigate into the problems of road transportation in Egor Local Government
Area of Edo State the researcher formulated the following research
questions.
1.6
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Road transportation
is one of the most important and popular means of transportation in Egor LGA.
Eventually all economic activities are carried out by the use of road
transport. The study therefore look into the problem of road transportation in
the area, the causes, effect with a view, proffering solution to the problem of
road transportation in the area.
