Mr Amoamah said CILT had also engaged its members to also
begin to develop corporate policies and initiatives to reduce carbon and
resource demands.
The president lauded CILT’s efforts to partner Transaid UK
in its quest to enhance the current training standard for the High Gas and
Eletric Vehicles (HGV) drivers in the country.
Madam Irene Odokai Messiba, the Director, Policy Planning,
Monitoring and Evaluation at the Ministry of Transport, said the sector was one
of the most important in the country due to its social, economic and
environmental impact on the country.
“The Ministry of Transport is committed to modernizing and
upgrading our transport infrastructure and in particular, our ports
capabilities as well as the logistics value chain industry,” she said.
She said the time was right to engage industry experts and
practitioners to deliberate on issues geared towards advancing the cause of
sustainable and climate neutral transport system.
She said the government had deployed strategies to
transition the energy and transportation sectors towards a net-zero emissions
future.
