The North Central Alternative Movement for change has lauded the kogi born director of the fct directorate of road traffic services, Dr Abdul Lateef Bello on the different initiatives and concepts introduced In the FCT DRTS ranging from inserting of number plates online for general accessibility against the earlier difficulty experience in processing and accessing before registration,introduction of rapid response,empowerment of area commands as well as clearing of the area one under bridge hitherto known for traffic gridlock at all ours.
The group’s spokesperson Ibrahim Kamal stated this while responding to a recent call by the transparency watch initiative to the fct minister Wike to redeploy the drts director. When you want to fight corruption,it fights you back hence the attack on Dr Bello. It is a known fact that some officers in drts have form clique and cartel of touts who forges particulars and even produce fake number plates which the director has gone after by demolishing illegal shops opposite the drts headquarters detected to be doing fake paper. Similarly,the drts operations are keenly watched with a workerholic deputy director who moves at intervals to supervise all the area commands assisted by zonal commanders. The volunteers presence in drts got it origin from sure p days when most of them were recruited,so it did not start with Dr Bello. We therefore call on the fct minister to ignore such call drawn out of envy and are handiwork of detractors.
In addition,most of the issues the transparency watch raised are baseless and devoid of facts. The VIO operations on roads are not manned by volunteers alone as permanent staffs are also involved
Similarly,the general recruitment process in fcta is done by the human resource department and no one way traffic or monopoly is being played by the director. In any organisation,u only work with committed and serious minded officers and staff and not those concerned with only renewal,fake papers and absence from duty. The fct minister needs only hardworking staffs we believe.
