Document background
The Road Transport Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Nigeria that require reliable and compliant transportation services for their goods. This document is typically used when establishing a formal relationship between a transport service provider and a client requiring regular or substantial transportation services. The agreement ensures compliance with Nigerian transportation laws, including the Federal Road Safety Commission Act and related regulations, while protecting both parties' interests through clear service standards, risk allocation, and operational procedures. It's particularly important given Nigeria's vast road network and the critical role of road transportation in the country's economy. The agreement addresses specific challenges in the Nigerian context, such as interstate transportation requirements, vehicle standards, and local safety regulations.
