The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic is a huge stone block to the economic activities of countries all over the Globe. The COVID-19 which originated and started at Wuhan, China has spread to almost all the countries of the world. The Virus has caused serious setback to all the economic activities of countries if not all.

Transportation sector has also been one of the primary victims of the outbreak of COVID-19 which has been a very important factor of aiding development and growth of a country. All economic activities are based on transportation of their product and services.

However, following the lockdown of economic activities in many countries Transportation business has been running at a very great loss, as workers, students (people) are not been working or carrying bus to their destination except those who are exempted such as Health officials, broadcasters, Security Personnel such as police, army, and other important security personnel. Most of the exempted personnel have their personal cars or company buses to convey them to their destinations.

The world economy depends on oil but due to lack of people to purchase oil at a result of restricted movement due to covd19 pandemic, the world is experiencing economic meltdown.

The Outbreak has affected the modes of transportation due to the perception of people on the spread of the virus which is associated to risk of crowded areas and places.

If the issues normalize, it will be very hard to find an average Nigerian to travel out of the country or even interstate especially the most affected areas in Nigeria such as Lagos, Abuja or even leaving the place to other states. People might avoid public transport modes to prevent themselves in a crowded place or area and also avoidance of motorcycles, tricycles. Furhermore , commuting and traveling patterns might not return to its normal state unlike before the Covid19 started once the lockdown is lifted .

As earlier stated most drivers who employs the use of app based taxi services such as Uber,Taxify and so on which served as their means of survival were economical suffering due to the COVID-19 lock down, because most of people they commute from one place to another will not place order as the result of the lockdown.

Most organizations due this lockdown has shifted their focus from moving citizens to how to maintain their core transportation system operation to enable their key essential workers to move and get to work most especially the exempted agencies due to the pandemic. Most Workers who are exempted and have no car of their own focus will be majorly on the organisation provision for transportation. Long term investment programs may need to be replamned and reproriortized in the light of decreased revenues there are restricted movement, investment plan which are scheduled for immediate actualization will be re planned as there is no means of transporting the services and goods to be invested and if no re planned for due to unavailability of transportation could cause loss. The transportation sector is one of the main strong bone behind development of a country economy.

Most of the companies or Organiztions need to make a very great step of making plan for the availibilty of key perssonel to ensure that its staff with critical skills and trainings are available throughout the pandanemic locdown to keep network operational by working from home to ensure the smooth running of the organization due no availabity of movement caused by the lockdown.
