By Ahabamnews
The National Coordinator of Initiative For Social Rights Concerns And Advancement (ISRCA) AKA “NO Justice, No Peace”, has called on Delta State Government to Implement regulatory measures to govern the operations of trailer trucks, tankers, and other heavy-duty vehicles.
He noted the significant threats it posses to lives, property, and economic activities in the affected areas, as well as its role in causing heavy traffic congestion on major roads and streets in the State.
According to ISRCA Boss, there are States in the Federation that have adopted this approach, and it is proving effective for its development strides. The state government ought not wait for tragic, horrible, and terrifying incidents to occur before taking stringent measures to regulate these excesses on our roads.
Comrade (Amb.) Agberen explained that, alternative routes through Oha Community to Aziza Community and the Sapele Amukpe roundabout, are deteriorating rapidly and will soon be in a similar poor state as the expressway.
ISRCA Chief Stated that Community leaders in Villages, that have become alternative routes to the Sapele/Benin Expressway, should safe guard their communities from these heavy-duty vehicles that now wreak havoc on the only existing roads, if these roads deteriorate to deplorable conditions, it will not only take years before they are rehabilitated which would hinder economic growth and development in such communities, but also create opportunities for persons in government, disguised as contractors to embezzle public funds, under the guise of contract award.
