The Transportation Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has partnered with the National Union of Dispatch Riders and Mail Operators of Nigeria (NUDRMON) to fish out criminal riders.
The secretary of the secretariat, Mr Chinedum Elechi, stated this at a meeting with members of the union in Abuja Wednesday.
He stated that the partnership followed the development of membership database, portal and identification number by the union, to distinguish them from unidentified riders.
He noted the prevalence of unidentified dispatch riders operating within the FCT with illegal items stuffed in their boxes.
He commended leaders of the union for the initiative, describing it as “crucial in differentiating genuine riders from the bad eggs”.
He pledged the full support of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and the transport secretariat saying, “what is important is that you must collaborate and work very closely with the government.
