BENIN CITY – Edo State Commissioner for Transport Hon. Idehen Uwuilekhue called on officers of the Edo State Traffic Management Agency (EDSTMA) to always be in uniform for ease of identification when on duty, to avoid embarrassment and molestation from motorists and members of the public.
A release by the Ministry’s Public Relations Officer, (PRO), Francisca Iyagan indicates that the Hon. Commissioner gave the advice during the Ministry’s regular briefing of EDSTMA officials and Unit Heads in Benin City.
He urged the officers to be civil in the discharge of their duties as it is their responsibility to control traffic on our roads adding that any EDSTMA official caught extorting money from motorists will be punished and dismissed from the Agency.
Hon. Uwuilekhue urged the general public to always obey traffic rules so as to avoid sanction as EDSTMA is poised to ensure free flow of traffic on our roads.
He also urged EDSTMA to be good Ambassadors of the Ministry by conducting themselves orderly in order to rebuild and reform the agency.
