Redefining Transport for Pregnant Women and Mothers
Every day, pregnant women and mothers with young children embark on what feels like a battleground rather than a commute. The iconic yellow and black buses (danfo), lifelines for many Lagosians, are especially daunting for these women. Their experiences expose glaring gaps in our public transport system and challenge us to reimagine a city where transport is not just about movement but also dignity, care, and inclusion.
Gas, Glamour, and Governance: Navigating CNG Adoption in Nigeria with Influencers and Experts
As Nigeria charts a path toward sustainable energy with compressed natural gas (CNG), the government has enlisted influencers to drive public engagement and awareness. While their cultural reach is undeniable, this approach raises questions about the exclusion of experts and researchers who could provide valuable insights into policy and implementation. Are we prioritizing spectacle over substance? This blog explores the implications of relying on influencers, the potential for mismanagement, and how to ensure this initiative translates into meaningful progress for Nigeria's energy future.
Transforming African Cities: Tackling Encroachment for Safer, Smarter Urban Mobility
Imagine a city where every journey is a battle for space—a place where sidewalks are filled with market stalls, roads double as parking lots, and infrastructure upgrades struggle to gain a foothold. Urban transportation renewal holds the promise of creating livable, vibrant cities and improving the quality of life for millions. However, encroachment: when public land and road spaces are overtaken for unauthorized use has become a major obstacle to achieving this vision
TRATSEDI Congratulates Osun State Government on Launching Transport Operators Profiling Initiative

Pedestrian Walkways: Balancing Accessibility and Market Trading in Developing Nations
The proliferation of market traders on pedestrian walkways poses a growing concern in Nigeria, especially in Lagos State. Encroachment on designated walkways compromises pedestrian safety and convenience, particularly for vulnerable groups. Additionally, it tarnishes the city's image and impacts tourism. To address this, strict enforcement of regulations, public awareness campaigns, and stakeholder collaboration are essential. By reclaiming walkways and implementing sustainable solutions, authorities can prioritize pedestrian safety and well-being. It requires a concerted effort from the government, relevant authorities, and stakeholders to create pedestrian-friendly environments that uphold safety and accessibility for all in Nigerian cities.
