The Ministry of Transportation has
inaugurated a 19-man Committee to finalise the review of the National Transport
Policy draft for the country’s Transportation Sector.
A statement by the Director of
Press, Yetunde Sonaike, made this known in Abuja yesterday.
The Minister of Transportation,
Rotimi Amaechi, who inaugurated the committee, charged the members to produce
the final document, so that it could be ratified by the appropriate
authorities. Amaechi, represented by the
Permanent Secretary, Sabiu Zakari, recalled that the National Transport Policy
document had gone to the Federal Executive Council where it was referred to the
National Economic Council, NEC, for necessary input.
He said that the newly created
Department of Road Transport and Mass Transit Administration in the ministry
had also enhanced the updated document. Responding, the Chairperson of the
committee, Mfon Usoro, thanked the minster for the confidence reposed in them
and promised to work assiduously with other members. She said that they would work within
the time frame to achieve the objectives of the government in the transportation
sector.
