Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has revealed that plans are already in place to manage traffic more effectively within the state and to develop a masterplan to reorganise transportation in not only Benin City, but also the entire Edo as a state.
This was as he also revealed that a transportation expert had already been hired for this purpose and that traffic managers are already been recruited through the ‘Edo Jobs’ programme.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary, John Mayaki said that the training would be rigorous, after which the traffic officers would be deployed to the streets to begin to organise and control traffic.
Governor Obaseki revealed that the government was making plans with the judiciary to deliver swift judgement to traffic offenders.
The governor, however, revealed that that was a short-term fix to the problem of transportation in the state and that the government was working on a long-term plan.
He also expressed hope that the state government could work with the World Bank to get financing for reorganising the transport system and getting traffic to flow smoothly in the state.
