The
National President of Bus Conductors Association of Nigeria, Mr. Israel
Adeshola, says that as from March it is mandatory for bus conductors in Lagos
state to wear uniforms, name tags, and badges.
Adeshola
on Thursday said that the Lagos State government has approved wearing of
uniforms and badges.
He
said that the use of badges and wearing of uniforms by over 3,000 bonafide
members got the approval of the government on Monday.
He
said, “We are in collaboration with Lagos state government on the issue of
badges and uniforms for commercial conductors, which was finalised on Monday.
“This
is because we don’t want to start without the government’s approval. So by the
first week of March, we will roll them out.”
Adeshola
explained that the introduction of uniforms, name tags and badges had become
necessary to enforce decorum and ensure the safety of duly registered members
and members of the public.
According
to him, with the vital information on the badge, any conductor involved in a
crime can easily be identified and apprehended.
The
national president explained that the novel idea was being experimented in
Lagos state before other states can take a cue.
