By -

The Kwara State Government has restated its commitment to the safety of lives and  economic growth of citizens through a reliable transportation road map, embarked upon by the new transportation Ministry in the State.

The Kwara State Commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Lafia Aliyu Korasabi, restated this today while addressing Kwarans on a radio programme, "Oju-Oba'nle", at the Diamond FM, Ilorin.

Hon. Lafia Aliyu  Korasabi who explained  the need for the creation of a stand alone transportation Ministry, said Kwara State is poised to have an accelerated progress in its transport system, aimed at ensuring the ease of doing business amongst road transporters, while still boosting the economy of residents in the State.

Lafia further disclosed that the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has  designed operational templates and reliable transportation road maps, intended to restructure the transportation system of the State through collaboration with Innoson Automobile Company, where the State has already proposed to procure 100 CNG tricycles as a pilot scheme for the State.

He promised that the government will expedite action on the logistics for the placement of the CNG tricycles, on its delivery, in strategic parks within the State and sought for the maximum understanding and cooperation from well meaning Kwarans, traders, road transport unions, and all road users to leverage on the invaluable opportunities of the initiative.

He said the partnership with companies on CNG tricycles, and electric driven tricycles was to mitigate the present economic hardship, reduce the high cost of maintenance on automobiles, reduce the cost on fueling, while providing succour to transporters, and car owners in the State. The initiative is aimed at building a more competitive business environment for economic growth and sustainability.

Speaking on the working synergy with the Ministry of Works, the Commissioner, commended the architectural standard of the roads being designed in the State to ensure durability.

He therefore, warned that the State government will no longer condone illegal packing and roadside parks/garages, trading on the walkways and general violations of the State's transportation laws, adding that violators should be ready to face the wrath of the law.
