“This prominence and the need to train and promote professionalism and certification in courier, logistics, transport, and management services have made it imperative to establish this institute,” the institute’s chairman asserted.

He underscored the critical role of logistics in economic development, adding that as a country’s economy advances, it is propelled by the development of logistics.

According to Emeje, the growth of logistics serves as the foundation for the development of other industries and infrastructure within the economy.

Highlighting the potential of the industry, he said, “Today, logistics is even more important when it is considered a base for sectors of the economy because it helps to link the flow of goods and services from the first partners to the final customers.
