The
Federal Government has solicited the support of the National Union of Road
Transport Workers (NURTW) to tackle insecurity across the country.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, urged the union
to support the government in its efforts to rid the nation’s highways of
violent crimes as he spoke yesterday at the ninth quadrennial conference of the
NURTW in Abuja.
He said: “Let me use this important
occasion to once again call on you to support this government as it evolves
innovative measures to tackle the challenge of insecurity on our roads.
The
union can specifically support the government in the fight against insecurity
by providing timely information to the security agencies, particularly on all
the black spots on the nation’s highways. Whether on intra or inter-state
journeys, your members crisscross the length and breadth of this vast nation
and, collectively, have great access to information that can help to make our
roads safer.
“As government continues to frontally
tackle the menace of insecurity, it is incumbent on all of us to collaborate in
order to address the kidnapping, armed robbery and other forms of insecurity on
our roads,” he said.
