Amaechi Promises Better Times For Staff

Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has declared free transportation services for staff and management of the ministry.

Amaechi said the decision was to help ameliorate the challenges faced by the staff in the discharge of their civic duties.

The Minister stated this at an interactive session with staff and management of the ministry on Monday.

Amaechi said, “Knowing the background I came from, I felt that you people are spending more money having to transport yourselves to work and I’m surprised that they are collecting money from you for those buses”.
Directing the Permanent Secretary to ensure the bus services are free of charge henceforth, he added, “We’ll increase the number of staff buses, fuel and maintain them ourselves”.

Amaechi further assured that to improve on service delivery, training and retraining of staff personnel will be given top priority.

“We would devise a means of training and retraining” he said.
