The Enugu State Governor, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for ensuring safety and stability on all roads within the country, previously bedeviled by criminal activities.
Mbah, who was represented by the state Commissioner for Transport, Mr Obi Ozo, said this at the Passing-Out Parade of the 2023 Cadet Officers Basic Course at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Academy, Udi, on Friday.
At the parade, 264 cadet officers graduated after a six-month intensive course that included: drills, class work, moral instruction and daily physical fitness trek.
Governor Mbah said that most people entertain some form of apprehension on safety of lives and property in recent times due to security breaches in parts of the state and the country in general.
He said: “I am happy to note that perhaps not for his (President Tinubu) intervention, the atmosphere for this event may not have been created.
“The President’s Matching Order probably halted the negative incident from drifting and interfering with activities at this end. We are grateful”.
Mbah noted that in demonstrating the level of seriousness the current administration attached to the road transportation sector, road reconstruction and repairs had since started within the state.
Mbah said: “We are looking at further avenues of partnership with the Corps in order to deepen impact.
“As has been the case, the government is confident that such partnership would enhance growth in security and other relevant sectors.”
For the cadets, Mbah acknowledged them for completing the course, while urging them not to constitute hazards on the road but ensure professional conduct on the roads and other duty posts.
