Transport and communications

Abstract

Very strong historical evidence shows that economic development and growth are positively correlated to the development of adequate efficient and reliable transport and communication services. Over the past twenty years, there has been no significant economic growth in Africa and in the past few years Africa’s economic conditions have actually deteriorated. A critical review reveals that Africa’s transport and communications infrastructures are inadequate and that services are generally inefficient and unreliable. indeed all economic actives including development of rural areas locations and expansion of industries, creation of employment opportunities and better prices for products and services ,depend on efficient transport system.
