Transportation is very important in a developing country like Nigeria.  It is the major root of economic development of every nation. Transportation is an integral part of distribution.  This    is because an item produced at one point has little value unless it is moved to the place where it is needed or demanded. It is necessary to have distribution systems to move the item produced. Large scale production cannot exist in a vaccum without transportation. The most efficient large scale production plant cannot operate unless the things produced are sold to the final consumers to yield utility.

These products can never be sold unless they are they are distributed to the areas where they are demanded.  Transportation therefore makes it possible for the distribution of products from the areas where they are sold. It is said that “transportation broader the market”. An adequate transportation system provides the means by which mass distribution and production takes place.
