I will appreciate if I could be provided with names and contact information (phone and email address) of reputable companies or professional individual in Nigeria that provide transport management services to investors willing to invest in transportation business in Nigeria.

With a new government now in place in Nigeria, I am confident that this is a good time to start investing in Nigeria and support the economy. In view of this I am looking at starting a medium size commercial transportation business in Nigeria. I am currently in the process of procuring some buses (up to 5 buses for a start) to be used for commercial transportation in Lagos Nigeria. This is just for a start as more buses will be acquired if everything goes well.

I will not be able to manage these buses by myself due to the fact that I am based outside of Nigeria. As a result, I am looking for corporate company (preferably) or professional individual that is in the business of managing commercial transportation buses for individual investors like me. The approach I want to use is similar to what is applicable in the real estate business where Real Estate Management Company or individual manages your real estate properties for you.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry to ask, have you thought about haulage? It is more profitable than commuter transport. This is our business, and i stand to be corrected. Waiting for your reply. . .

Hello,if you don't mind we can use it for school bus,I have enough school to give them to,I have the one that am doing right now ,this is my number. 08087025175.Abiodun

I am so weak of will to write this post… anyway, whatever we talk about it will be about the Volkswagen LT28/LT31/LT35/LT 45 long frame (28 seater) diesel bus commuting within Siemens(hop[e I got the spelling right), marina or Mile 2 festac side to agbara, oguafor, aradagu(close to badagry)

My opinion, if anybody told you that commercial intra state transport is lucrative, the may not have lied to you , but they didn’t tell you the truth either

Now this is what a typical month is like(a month is inbetween servicing in this case 21days) you change oil filter, gas filter, pour oil treatment, wash radiator(which if dirty courses engine to overheat), change engine oil, change brake pad, then servicing labour
Now every 2 months because of the bad roads, though it is under construction (and will be OK in future), the upper and lower arms of the front wheels have to be changed, which cost quite a lot, uou can also expect tp rebind the clutch with leather to be sharp and sieze the opportunity to grease the spizer borex also

Every three months, you have to change the gear and axle oil, if the bus enters water change within teo days or risk changin the entire back axle and gear box, also check the propeller sharft hanger called centre casing

Coming to the bus purchase, it costs N1.2m for the bus and to put it on the road as well as tropicalizing and adapting it for nigeria road which invloves

1.change the two cwll radiator used in temperate climate to 3cell for tropical climate(alumium radiators are better)

2.raise the front wheels for better ground clearance

3.remove the turbocharge(becos nigeria mechanics dont understand it)

4 set engine thermostat from automatic to permanant on

5. change the tyres to a cheaper 16 inch ream compared to costly 14in tyres

6. use heavy metal guage to make the passenger chairs

7. downgrade the braking syste3ms to use only front tires(most brake failures are cause by the rear wheels)

all these will cost around half a million inclusive of painting and registration


I will advise you register the bus under the name of a high ranking military officer(for driver seriousness)

Also the buses generate N7,000 - N9,000 daily and you have to spend around N45,000 to tur thins around every 21days, be the judge

I can furnish you with the knowledge i have acquired for a fee(token)I advice you set up a company an do this your self, have supervisors chasing drivers, and military personnel to help recover imbounded vehicles from the hands of vio, lastma, police etc

regards

Poliporpor:
Is the business not profitable? Why not share your thought so everyone can benefit here. would it be better to partner with a transport company or to run one's own company himself? on the average how much do transport lines remit to investors every month? The other guy said the income is roughly 7000-9000 Naira daily possibly after paying all the dues and every 21 days one must spend roughly 45000 Naira on maintenance of the vehicle which by my calculation is roughly 140,000 Naira remittance monthly. So can you or someone else throw more light into this, if you give your vehicle to a transport company to manage it, how much would be the monthly remittance from the transport company to you??
