Anambra State Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Christian Mmadubuko has said that the State government is committed to entrenching a favourable atmosphere for the State transport industry.
Dr. Mmadubbuko made this known while addressing the media over the alleged blockage of the Bridge Head by commercial bus operators over allegation of extortions.
Dr. Mmadubbuko said he got information about the alleged extortions last month from an anonymous person and invited all relevant parties to his office to hear from them.
The Commissioner, who noted that the matter is still under investigation, wondered why the bus drivers blocked the major road.

Meanwhile, Anambra State government with effect from first April, 2020 will begin impounding vehicles not properly registered in the State.
