ABSTRACT: Transportation issue is one of the significant zones of utilization of Linear
Programming Model. In this paper, transportation model is utilized to decide
an ideal answer for the transportation issue in a run of the mill world class
university utilizing Covenant University as a contextual analysis. Covenant
University is a potential world class University. The quick development of
Covenant University Campus over the most recent fourteen years affects its
transportation framework. This paper particularly takes a gander at streamlining
the time spent by the students moving from their lodgings to lecture
rooms. Google guide was utilized to figure the separation and time between
every cause and every goal. North-west corner technique, Least Cost strategy
and Vogel’s estimation technique were utilized to decide the underlying fundamental
plausible arrangement (initial feasible solution) and MODI strategy
was utilized to locate the ideal arrangement (optimal solution). The last outcome
demonstrates that the development of understudies from hostel to lecture
rooms can be streamlined if the total time spent is decreased.
