Computerised Vehincle Inspection Center takes off in Ondo

As part of the efforts of his administration to priotize the lives and properties of the people of Ondo state, the state governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, on Tuesday inspected the new computerised Vehincle Inspection Center in Akure, the state capital.

The new facility which is located within the premises of the Vehincle Inspection Office, Akure would inspect one hundred and twenty Vehincles in a day and provide jobs for thirty - six engineers.

Speaking during the governor's visit to the facility, the Managing Director of the company, Segun Obayendo said the facility will be commissioned very soon after the remaining necessary equipment are ready.

He explained that the center is also located at Owo and Ondo, adding that other ones will also be sited in Ikare and Ore thereafter.

The Computerised Vehincle Inspection Center which is already in operation in twelves States across the country is meant to ensure that only vehincles that are road worthy are put on the roads so as to reduce the number of avoidable accidents on the roads.

Govenor Akeredolu said the government is determined to rid the roads in the state of vehicle that are not road worthy. He added that the center is important to car owners to enable them diagonise their vehincles even before taking them to the mechanic workshop.

The Governor said the center will bring confidence back on the roads as only Vehincles with road worthiness certificate will ply roads in the state.

He, however, stressed that the center is not in any way a mechanic workshop but will help create more jobs for the mechanics as more vehincles will visit their workshops.
