No fewer than 1.4million Nigerian youth will soon be
recruited into traffic warden service across the nation, this is
according to latest report.
This detail was disclosed in Nnewi, Anambra State, on Wednesday by the chairman of VANCTRAWACT, a Human Right and Non Governmental Organization, NGO, Mr JK Johnsonapla.
It was gathered that the initiative was in line with President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda on job creation.
While explaining the new initiative, Johnsonapla noted that the project had received the approval of President Jonathan after a recent visit of the group at the Aso Rock.
According to Johnsonapla, the project would be handled by the
Transitional Management Committee, TMC and the coordinating NGO, on
behalf of the federal government.
He explained that the aim of the project was to redefine the road traffic control function as a veritable sub-sector for social, economic, human and urban development. Johnsonapla also stated that the project would introduce a pragmatic and proactive change in the road traffic control sub-sector to a world-class standard away from the current “agonizing” system of road traffic control.
“The NGO, fighting the cause of the traffic warden service and a sense of belonging of traffic wardens in the public service, is fervently committed to the enforcement of the Court of Appeal judgement that recently granted autonomy to the traffic warden service”, he stated.
He said the NGO has proactively put in place a methodology through which the traffic warden service has to be repositioned back to her statutory function on the road.
Also speaking on the initiative was the co-ordinating secretary of the NGO, Evangelist Emeka Ekenonu, who stated that the project would be handled with utmost vigor and transparency.
He said in distribiting the 1.4 million jobs, emphasis would be laid on percentage of personnel cadre, pointing out that the project would absorb 980,000 into the rank and file, 280,000 into inspectors cadre and 140,000 into officers cadre.
“President Jonathan has said that employment is the inalianable right of fellow Nigerians, to enable them work, earn salary, to improve their standard of living, improve their social being and contribute their quota towards the nation Explaining further the new road traffic deal,” Evangelist Ekenonu said while explaining further the new road traffic deal.
