Edo State Ministry of Transport and Egor Local Government have formed a synergy to extend the newly enthroned vehicular traffic decorum to all the roads in Benin City.
This was disclosed by the state Commissioner for Transport , Ambassador Orobosa Omo-Ojo(JP), when he led the ministry’s management team and heads of para-military agencies under the ministry on a visit to Egor Local Government Area to interact with the people of the locality at the Council Secretarial, Uselu, Benin City. Omo-Ojo observed that there was a remarkable difference in the vehicular traffic in the metropolis since he assumed office recently, hence he has come to seek the support of the council to extend the horizon of control over street trading to ensure free-flow of vehicular movement in the area.
He appealed to the Local Government Chairman, Victor Enobakhare, to ensure that the council revenue collectors do not connive with traders to perpetrate street trading by displaying their wares for sale on the walk-ways, urging him to construct a vehicle parking lot close to the Uselu Market for motorists especially as the council could generate reasonable revenue from it.
Commending the Egor Council boss for being a leader in a hurry to deliver good governance to the people of the area, the Commissioner also encouraged him to extend his good will to the needs of the ministry.
Responding, the Chairman of Egor Local Government Area, Victor Enobakhare, said the council and the ministry were partners in progress and assured that the council would ensure free flow of traffic in the area.
He emphasized the need to educate motor traffic control agents to always apply wisdom and caution while on duty, stressing that such agents should control vehicular movement to avoid chaotic traffic rather than waiting for any motorist to default before going into action. Enobakhare however commended the commissioner for being pro-active in introducing innovation for the smooth flow of traffic.
The commissioner and his team had before the visit embarked on a walk along Uselu-Lagos road to control vehicular traffic.
