From today, bus conductors in Lagos will
start wearing uniform as part of efforts to
promote the Smart City Initiatives, SCI, of the
state government.
This was disclosed by the National President
of the Bus Conductors Association of
Nigeria, BCAN, Comrade Israel Adeshola, in
an interview with Vanguard.
According to him, the Lagos State
government has approved the association’s
uniforms and badges with name tag and
identification numbers for easy
identification of registered conductors.
He said the use of badges on uniforms is to
address criminal tendencies by some bus
conductors, calling on Lagosians to support
the initiative.
According to him; ‘’The re-branding of bus
conductors in the state which is in
partnership with the Lagos State
Government is a project that has been in the
master plan of the state government in a
way to stem criminal activities and also
protect the lives and properties of
Lagosians.
‘’The BCAN has been partnering with the
state government through the ministry of
transportation to train members of the
association who are now registered by the
government.’’
Adeshola, who said the conductor’s job was
vital in the transportation sector, noted that
the organization has embarked on
sensitization and training of members since
inception.
He also said that the objective is to make
conductor’s job attractive, respected and
dignified as obtainable globally.
