Osun Begins Profiling Of Transport Operators

Osun State Government has commenced the profiling of commercial transport operators in the state.

According to the government, the programme tagged “Commercial Transport Operators’ Profiling Programme (CTOPP)” will help build a trusted network for transport safety in and around Osun.

Speaking at the official flag-off of the programme on Wednesday, Governor Ademola Adeleke said the move became necessary to reduce incidents of kidnapping and loss of properties through commercial vehicles.

Represented at the programme by the Senior Special Assistant on Transportation, Hon. Salaam Adewale, Adeleke said the profiling also became necessary to be able to plan for issues in the transportation sector of the State.

He noted that the revenue drive of the present administration will be greatly boosted through the profiling of every commercial transport operator in the State because it will provide an accurate database of every operator with which the State can work.
