Transport Policy Implementation Will Curb Insecurity- Shugaba

A Transport Union Leader, Comrade Shehu Shugaba wants the Federal Capital Territory administration to ensure full implementation of policies initiated by the former transport secretary.

Addressing news men in Abuja, Comrade Shehu Shugaba said full implementation of the transport Policy would bring about effective service delivery and address insecurity significantly in the FCT.

Comrade Shugaba, who is also the secretary, FCT Licensing Transport Operators, said the restriction of painted taxi operators to some government premises and estates was hindering development of the transport system in the territory.

According to him, all taxis operating in the FCT must be licensed and painted as contained in the policy which has the imputs of stakeholders in the private and public sectors.

Comrade Shugaba commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing the former FCT Transport Secretary, Mr Kayode Opeifa as the managing Director of The Nigeria Railway Corporation of Nigeria which he believes would transform railway transport system in the country.

The transport expert emphasised that the wealth of experience of Kayode Opeifa in the transport sector would reposition the Corporation in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the current administration.

He appealed to stakeholders to support the present administration in her quest to reposition the transport sector for socio-economic growth.
