compliance to the new directive, commending the effort as a good step worthy of emulation by others.

Hon.

"As a government that prioritizes the safety of citizens, we are delighted about this swift step taken by the TOAN leadership. We urge others to comply with the 'white and green' colour codes accordingly", the commissioner emphasized.

In his remarks, during the presentation, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Alh. Salau Kabir Abdullahi, commended the swift action taken by TOAN, noting the reliability and efficiency of the Association.

He, however, assured TOAN of the government's continued steadfastness in attending to issues bothering on the smooth operation of all transporters in Kwara State.

On his part, the Chairman of TOAN, Alh. Saliu Gidado, disclosed that the presentation of some of its newly painted tricycles was to affirm its undivided support to the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to guarantee the safety of residents and the actualization of set goals on transportation reforms.

He equally commended the unprecedented urban developmental projects of the administration, adding that roads being re-constructed by the Governor has helped to reduce costs of maintenance and movement time for all transporters and commuters in Kwara State.
