The National President of Bus Conductors Association of Nigeria, Israel Adeshola, says that as from March it will be mandatory for bus conductors in Lagos state to wear uniforms, name tags, and badges.
Adeshola on Thursday said that the Lagos State government has approved wearing of uniforms and badges.
He said, “We are in collaboration with Lagos state government on the issue of badges and uniforms for commercial conductors, which was finalized on Monday.”
“This is because we don’t want to start without the government’s approval. So by the first week of March, we will roll them out,” he said.
Adeshola explained that the introduction of uniforms, name tags and badges had become necessary to enforce decorum and ensure the safety of duly registered members and members of the public.
According to him, with the vital information on the badge, any conductor involved in a crime can easily be identified and apprehended.
