…….Lauds PMB on His Independent Speech
The President of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, Comrade Eriyo Osakpamwan has urged Nigerians to keep hope alive as President Mohammadu Buhari will certainly take Nigeria to the next level.
Eriyo in his 59th Nigeria independent message said having listened to the nationwide broadcast of Mr President, he is convinced that Nigeria will surely move to the next level under President Mohammadu Buhari.
On security, the RTEAN Boss said he was glad when the president said good governance
and Economic Development cannot be sustained without an enabling environment of peace and security, which he said in the last four years, his administration have combatted the terrorist scourge of Boko Haram, owing a debt of gratitude to our gallant men and women in arms, through whose efforts we have been able to achieve the present results. We are also grateful to our neighbours and allies – within the region and across the world – who have supported us on this front.
Eriyo went further quoting PMB that “The capacity of our armed forces to defend our territorial integrity continues to be enhanced by the acquisition of military hardware as well as continued improvements in the working conditions of our service men and women.”
RTEAN president, Comrade Eriyo commended the president for the resuscitation of the Ministry of Police Affairs to oversee the development and implementation of strategies that enhance internal security, and also the ongoing recruitment of 10,000 constables into the Nigeria Police Force, which clearly demonstrates the commitment of Nr. President to arrest the incidence of armed robbery, kidnapping and other violent crimes across our nation.
On the roads sub sector which is very well key to the economic of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, Comrade Eriyo further thanked the PMB for the infrastructure such as the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Second Niger Bridge and Abuja-Kano Expressway, and many others across the country.
Comrade Eriyo Osakpamwam therefore call on all members of RTEAN across the country to joint hands with president Mohammadu Buhari in actualizing his dreams if taking Nigeria to the next level, just as he wishes Nigerians a happy 59th independent.
