MC Oluomo Announces Monthly Allowance For Female Bus Drivers
The Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages (LASPG), Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo) has placed all female commercial bus drivers in the state on a monthly payment.
Akinsanya, who addressed over 500 female commercial bus drivers at the agency’s secretariat in Agege, said the gesture was to complement their earnings, and promised more welfare packages for all drivers in the state.
He donated N500,000 cash to a female driver, Meimunat Ahmed, who is down with a partial stroke.
Akinsanya also ordered the immediate procurement of a bus engine worth N600,000 for another woman to continue her trade.
He urged the women to always be good ambassadors of the agency in dealing with commuters.
He reminded them that many would try to take advantage of them being behind the wheel, and advised them to show maturity in relating with such people.
“On our own part, we will continue to watch your back and ensure that people do not harass you while going about your legitimate duties,” he said.
He enjoined them to shun acts that could dent the renewed image of the agency.
The women thanked Akinsanya for the gesture and promised to abide by all the rules and regulations.
