The Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Lagos State chapter, on Friday expressed its total support for the proposed plan to stop the operations of yellow buses popularly known as ‘danfo’ on Lagos roads.
The State Chairman of the association, Alhaji Musa Mohammed, articulated this in a telephone interview with The Nation in Lagos.
According to him, the association is fully behind the state government under the leadership of Mr. Akinwumi Ambode in his bid to ensure Lagos State is transformed to a mega city.
Mohammed said the only area which the association will advise government to take critical look is to ensure they provide enough buses to cater for the yearning need of the masses before the plan would be finally implemented.
Lagos State governor Akinwumi Ambode, had on Monday February 6, announced a plan to sweep yellow buses popularly called ‘danfo’ in local parlance, for a more efficient, well-structured and world-class mass transport system.
Ambode said that the well-structured transport system would ease movement within the state and make Lagos cleaner without burden the people in terms of taxes. Mohammed admonished members of RTEAN to lend their total support for government to ensure the mega city project of present administration attain success.
