1.4million Nigerian Youths to be Recruited as Traffic Wardens

Just when people are thinking an alternative to stay away from killer Nigeria roads after failure of government to provide motorable roads. Even the wealthy Nigerians and government knows this, as they now fly private jets or first class. 

Then, waking up to read 1.4 million youths to work as road warden rather than work constructors, engineers and builders to improving the road. Here is latest update for unemployed Nigerians from Vanguard.

As part of President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda on job creation, proposal of over 1.4 million Nigerians may be recruited into traffic warden service across the nation absorbing 980,000 into the rank and file, 280,000 into inspectors cadre and 140,000 into officers cadre.
The initiator of the project and chairman of VANCTRAWACT, a Human Right and Non Governmental Organization, NGO, Mr JK Johnsonapla who disclosed this in Nnewi, Anambra State yesterday while explaining the new initiative, noted that the project had received the approval of President Jonathan after a recent visit of the group at the Aso Rock.

Johnsonapla further disclosed that the project would be handled by the Transitional Management Committee, TMC and the co-ordinating NGO, on behalf of the federal government.

“The NGO, fighting the cause of the traffic warden service and a sense of belonging of traffic wardens in the public service, is fervently committed to the enforcement of the Court of Appeal judgement that recently granted autonomy to the traffic warden service”, he stated.
He said the NGO has proactively put in place a methodology through which the traffic warden service has to be repositioned back to her statutory function on the road.
