The Chairman Anambra State House of Assembly Committee on Transport, Hon. Patrick Obalum Udeoba, says government is to venture into water transportation in coastal areas of the state, ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports.
Obalum who extolled Governor Charles Soludo’s efforts in road infrastructure, said government plans to explore its potential in coastal areas of Ihiala, Ayamelum and others to diversify the transport sector.
Speaking with our correspondent exclusively, the lawmaker who represents Anambra-west state constituency in the outgoing legislature, opined that the government of Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has restored sanity and orderliness in the transport sector of Anambra state.
Udeoba noted that Governor Soludo has chased touts and miscreants out of motor parks and has equally equipped and empowered Anambra State Road Traffic Management Agency (ARTMA) for better performance in traffic management and control.
He said the governor has constituted a team of taskforce chasing touts and illegal revenue collectors selling tickets or collecting money from motorists, when the governor has publicly declared that no physical cash should be collected anywhere in the state as all official payment system is digital.
He said the digitisation of the revenue payment system has indeed improved the IGR of the state and that the Ministry of Transport is indeed working round the clock to sanitise as well as stabilize the transport sector in Anambra state in line with the vision and mission of the Solution Government.
