Oyo Govt to Capture Traffic Offenders Through CCTV Cameras
In a bid to face out crisis linked to violation of traffic at junctions in Ibadan metropolis which usually lead to assault of traffic management officials,the Oyo state government has let out plans to install Close Circuit Television Cameras to capture offenders
According to the Executive Chairman/CEO of Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA), Major Adesagba Adekoya (rtd), the government would implement a Traffic Management Solution System, to capture traffic violations without the need for officers intervention to prevent any direct altercation between offenders and officers.
Adekoya, who acknowledged the risks involved in the line of duty for his officers, explained that some physical assaults could result in serious or even fatal injuries, stated that the state governor, Seyi Makinde has recently approved hazard allowances for the officers.
He noted that the Authority would not condone any misconduct from its officers.
Some residents of the state do not know the main duties of OYRTMA on our roads, and most mistake your officer’s functions with VIO and FRSC. Can you tell us the job similarities and differences?”
“This Authority is not a nascent agency in the State. It has been in establishment since the year 2009 till date making it 14 to 15 years of existence. The Authority (OYRTMA) came into existence by the enactment of the Oyo State House of Assembly on the 4th of November 2009.”
