“Be a strong member of CIOTA. I have been engaging my Agency (TRACE) in capacity building, to improve on transportation profession, both on road, water, air, and rail, for us to function well not only on road but across the transportation system. Time is coming when nobody would become a transport commissioner or minister without being a member of CIOTA.
“So also, I advise every transport administrator to enroll in any approved institution, especially the CIOTA, for them to acquaint more knowledge and understand transportation system,†Cdr Ogunyemi, added.

President CIOTA, Dr Segun Obayendo, represented by Prof. Samuel Ojewunmi, said that transportation plays a critical role of in a nation's economy, adding that transportation starts from home, and that no product reaches its final point of sale without transportation.
“It is the live wire from which every other thing moves. Transport does not rival or compete with any sector, rather it facilitates all sectors", Dr. Obayendo stated.
“Chartered Institute of Transportation (CIOTA) is the first professional body to pioneer transport sector in Nigeria in 1986â€, he said, while congratulating prof Oni for establishing multimodal transportation.
Speaking in the same vein, former President of CIOTA, Mrs Mulikat Fehintola Sanni, described the notion by the general public that those who engage in transportation are motor touts, but a profession that all should be happy to belong.
