DTSG PARTNERS FRSC TO SET UP VEHICLE NUMBER PLATES PLANT IN DELTA

The Delta State government and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has concluded plans to set up a mini-number plate manufacturing plant in Delta State. 
Speaking in Asaba today when the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi paid him a courtesy visit, the Governor disclosed that accommodation facilities have been provided for the effective take off of the mini-manufacturing plant.
He disclosed that manufacturing the number plates would ensure faster provision of genuine number plates for motorists, adding that the FRSC should also, work towards encouraging investors to manufacture genuine tyres in Nigeria.
According to him, it was sad that despite the huge market for tyres in Nigeria, there is no company that was manufacturing the product, observing that manufacturing the product in Nigeria would ensure that genuine tyres were made available to road users in Nigeria.
"It is an undisputable fact that most of the accidents witnessed on the roads were as a result of faulty or expired tyres, but, if tyres are manufactured in the country, people will be sure of their sources," he said.
"The FRSC should look at ways to encourage private investors to manufacture tyres in the country because, already, there is a huge market for such." He added.
Governor Okowa while assuring the FRSC of partnership to ensure safety on the road, stated that the establishment of Delta State Traffic Management Agency (DELSMA) was to assist the FRSC in ensuring sanity and safety on the road.
Earlier, Mr Oyeyemi commended Governor Okowa's administration in its desire to ensure safety on the roads and for support to the Corps, assuring that the number plate manufacturing plant would be functional in the next couple of months.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
