Karma gave the assurance at a one-day training workshop on “Importance of Traffic Control and Management” organized for Divisional Traffic Officers (DTOs) of the command in Awka on Wednesday.

According to him, the state government has done so much for the police and the only way we can reciprocate that gesture is to serve the people better.

“The governor has procured traffic stands with solar lights to assist the police in traffic control and has assisted with vehicles and other logistics.

“In order to enhance traffic control therefore, we have decided to embark on the retraining of traffic officers for effective traffic control and management,” the commissioner explained.

Adeoye also harped on the effective enforcement of the various provisions of the road traffic regulations, effective traffic control and how to prevent accidents.

“It will help improve upon our knowledge of road traffic control, safety and as well bring back the image of traffic officers in good light,” Ugwuagbo said.
