The Director-General, Bauchi Road Traffic Agency (BAROTA) Air Commodore Ahmed Tijjani Baba-Gamawa (rtd) has assured the organization would be fully operational in the first quarter of 2022 when the full compliments of staff would have been in place.
He said by then recruitment of staff would have been completed, training conducted and workers posted to various areas and the agency would begin work in earnest.
He told Apex News Exclusive in an interview in Bauchi that though presently, the agency works skeletally but has been able to achieve a lot.
The Director-General pointed out that in the past six months, BAROTA was able to clean most of the mess within the traffic areas in Bauchi State, most especially on your way to Kano, central market of Bauchi to Awalah roundabout among others.
Air Commodore Gamawa expressed displeasure over the attitude of motorists at some markets along major roads especially at Gadar Maiwa, Mararaba Liman Katagun, Alkaleri and Soro among others where people drop cows, and bags of grains on the road thereby blocking free movements.
He urged the public to beware of some uniform personnel who claim to be BAROTA workers and are extorting money from unsuspecting people and said such people should be reported to the nearest security personnel.
The Director-General expressed gratitude to the Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed for meeting their needs and for not interfering in their activities.
“You see, there is nothing like once you are doing something and your boss is behind you 100 per cent and your boss is not interfering with what you are doing it is a very good plus for me to succeed with what I’ve been doing in Bauchi State,” Air Commodore Gamawa stressed.
