You are correct in stating the facts.

Nigeria government is good at creating muchroom ministry to squander public funds and loot from it.

U09ce:
This bill is long awaited. How logical is it that the most patronised transport sector(road ) is largely unregulated! The aviation industry has NCAA, maritime has NIMASA and NIWA but road transport has nothing. Commercial road transporters should be certified before they are allowed to haul passengers and goods. Tonnage of trailers and tankers should be regulated.

Bleep

Another agency to extort commercial drivers at different checkpoint

This is just duplication of duty,
we already have; Police, FRSC, LASTMA, VIO, NURTW, Agbero on the road, no need for this one abeg.

Una no dey ever see better bill pass,
Bill for steady light una no pass

I dedicate this FTC to the Almighty God

This makes a whole lot of sense. There is every need for the road transport industry to be regulated. If established, the council should ensure that cost of transportation is reduced and FG should also fulfill the promise of reducing petrol prices.

MyExpression:
Road Transport administration should encompass rural and urban transport planning, vehicle maintenance and security, traffic control even at Wharfs.

If anyone has a link to Transport policy makers, do connect me, I'll like to be part of this transformational project.

If we get it right, other countries will come to study our model.
Books will be written bout us.
A greater Nigeria awaits us.

Iamzik:


I don't think that cost of transportation will reduce unless this new council can do away with touts and cancel state sponsored NURTW. I don't see that happening, instead transportation fare is likely to increase because the council will also introduce a federal tax in addition to what transporters currently pay state and local council plus agberos.

My opinion

What is the essence of these bills? Where are the good roads?

This man used to contest for kwara state governorship. I didn't even know he is now a senator.

By the way, he is just trying to help his kwara brother MC Oluomo.

If the man loses his grip on lagos branch and he does not clinch nation leader, then what he has lost is more than the position.

The creation of the board for representatives from each geopolitical zone would only be for the benefit of MC.

This one think it is something like paramilitary outfit that will be standing on the road.
It is going to be a regulatory authority/agency .
It is a good bill. It would bring sanity to Road transport. Currently,road transport in Nigeria is not regulated. It will bring in more organized and corporate bodies to play in the road transport sector, as it is being done in the aviation sector. All this agberio-nurtw, will be fizzled out gradually.
However, I want to believe it is going to be meant for the inter state operators alone. Cus, road transportation is in the concurrent list.

RichDaniels:


This is how they've deceived you to thinking nonsense. You do not need an Act or a Bill to create an agency or parastatal of the government, insofar as their budget would be managed by another department. We have the ministry of transportation, what do they do? Can't they create an agency under him to achieve this purpose?
