a Major Interstate Passenger Transport Operator - Vodstra Limited

Job Summary

  • This role is not for career climbers, consultants, or first-time GMs.
  • Our client is a major interstate passenger transport operator in Nigeria seeking a strong industry leader to take full operational and commercial control of the business.
  • We are specifically targeting professionals who have already run large-scale operations at the highest level in Nigeria’s passenger transport sector.

Who This Role Is For
This position is strictly for candidates who have:

  • Served as Head of Operations (or equivalent) in one of Nigeria’s top six interstate passenger transport companies
  • Managed large fleets, multiple terminals, interstate routes, and thousands of daily passengers
  • Led operations in high-pressure, regulator-heavy, margin-sensitive environments
  • If you have not operated at this level, do not apply.

As General Manager, you will be accountable for:

  • End-to-end control of nationwide interstate operations
  • Fleet performance, route profitability, safety compliance, and service reliability
  • Turning operational discipline into measurable revenue growth
  • Eliminating inefficiencies, revenue leakages, and underperformance
  • Leading Terminal Managers and holding them to clear KPIs
  • Increase the market share of the business in the industry
  • Managing regulators, unions, security agencies, and strategic partners
  • Scaling operations while maintaining strict cost and safety controls.

Candidate Profile

  • Prior role as Head of Operations (or equivalent) within one of Nigeria’s top six interstate passenger transport companies
  • 10–15 years of progressive leadership experience in large-scale passenger transport operations
  • Proven success managing multi-location, high-volume interstate transport operations
  • Deep, practical knowledge of Nigerian transport regulations and operating realities
  • Strong financial discipline and commercial judgment
  • Data-driven, decisive, and execution-focused
  • Experienced in change management, turnaround, or rapid scale
  • Direct exposure to operating under board oversight and investor performance expectations
  • Willingness to travel extensively and take full ownership of results.

What We Offer

  • Executive-level compensation aligned with performance
  • Authority to make real decisions and implement change
  • A platform to leave a visible, measurable impact on a national transport operation.

Application Closing Date
20th August, 2026.
