(a) Outline map of Nigeria showing the required transport features

The map includes two international airports: Murtala Muhammed International Airport at Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at Abuja. It also shows the Lagos–Ibadan–Ilorin–Minna railway, the River Niger as a major inland waterway, Apapa as a seaport, and Onitsha as a river port.

(b) Four economic importance of road transport in Nigeria

1. Roads move people between homes, workplaces, schools, markets, towns and rural areas.
2. They transport agricultural produce, raw materials and manufactured goods, helping producers reach markets.
3. They promote domestic trade by linking places of production with places of consumption.
4. They provide employment for drivers, mechanics, road construction workers, fuel sellers and other transport-related workers.

(c) Two problems of road transportation in Nigeria

1. Poor road condition and inadequate maintenance: potholes, damaged bridges and poorly maintained roads slow journeys, damage vehicles and increase accidents.
2. High cost of road transport: expensive fuel, spare parts and vehicle maintenance raise the cost of moving passengers and goods.

Examination reminder: For a map question, use conventional symbols, place each feature in its approximate correct location, and label every symbol clearly with a ruler line where necessary.
