In order to enhance safe driving and road safety, the leadership of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigerian (RTEAN) in Ogun State, says it will partner the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC)to establish a specialized training centre for drivers.
The National President, Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Musa Muhammed, disclosed during the 10th delegate conference of the Ogun State Branch of the RTEAN, held in Abeokuta.
At the delegate conference, the State Chairman of the Association, Titilayo Akibu, Efele and the Secretary, Tiwalade Akingbade, were re-elected and sworn in alongside other executive members for another term of five years.
Speaking further, Muhammed explained that the planned special training centre for members of the Union is another step of collaboration between the body and the FRSC.
He noted that when finally established, the training centre would equip RTEAN members with latest road safety tips and safe driving.
The transport union president said “contrary to the touting tag stamped on members of the association by some members of the public, the association does not condone hooliganism”.
Muhammed said the association boasts of responsible founding fathers and notable Nigerians including the late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, who he said, had served as the National Secretary of the body.
He insisted that key words from RTEAN’s slogan such as “Super” “Maturity”, “Unity and Progress” lend credence to the association as an organisation of forward-looking and responsible businessmen and women.
The RTEAN National President urged members of the association to distinguish themselves as responsible members of the public and live up to the good name given to the association by the founding fathers.
“Our father (Obafemi) Awolowo was once the secretary of the RTEAN. We have the history, Awolowo was a secretary to this organisation.
“Let’s keep the name of RTEAN as kept by our founding fathers. Use that slogan of ‘maturity’ in all your activities so that people will know RTEAN with the good names that our founding fathers gave us”. He submitted.
Speaking with newsmen on the sidelines of the event, the Secretary of Ogun State chapter of RTEAN, Akingbade applauded the state chairman’s performance during his first term, attributing his re-election to the positive impact witnessed across the union’s operations in Ogun.
He cited improvement in park management and operational standards as key achievements of Akibu in his first term, adding that in his second term, “our Chairman is committed to building on these successes recorded and taking the association to the next level”.
