Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the impact of road transportation on supply chain effectiveness in Nigeria’s cement industry. Methodology: A quantitative survey design was adopted. Purposive sampling was used to select respondents based on their knowledge and experience. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analysed using SPSS with descriptive statistics. Findings: The study reveals that poor road infrastructure, transport policies and regulations, road congestion in Lagos, and supplier reputation are the major factors affecting road transport effectiveness in cement supply chain operations. Other key factors include transport coverage, vehicle condition, shipment tracking technologies, and reliability of logistics processes. Contribution: The study shows that while road transport remains essential to cement supply chain performance, operational efficiency depends strongly on timely delivery, order fulfilment, inventory control, and system reliability. It recommends improvements in delivery speed, e-procurement adoption, outsourcing of logistics services, strategic planning, supplier expansion, and the use of external expertise to address emerging supply chain challenges
