Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen has expreesed worries over the rate of abuse of children, especially girls at different motor parks nationwide, and has called for a drastic action against what she described as a menace.

She spoke in Abuja at the 10th National Delegate Conference of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN).

Tallen urged the leadership of the association to enlighten its members by mounting graphics on Gender-based violence around parks.

She said,

“When I sometimes visit parks in the company of family, I still see young children; girls and boys hawking when they should be in school. Yet, your members turn blind eyes to such scenarios. In some cases, these children become victims of exploitation and abuse. And because they are powerless, they have no voice and are afraid to report and so the cycle of abuse continues. Even women have reported such abuses in the parks.”

While delivering his acceptance speech after he was unanimously adopted as the RTEAN’s 10th national president, Musa Muhammed, urged the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prioritize the transportation sector as it: “creates employment and directs the economy”.

In a similar development, RTEAN in collaboration with Wema Bank and Digix Technologies, also launched a technology to provide a hitch-free transportation system for Nigerians.

Muhammed, represented by the association’s deputy national president administration, Muhammad Abubakar Bishara, said the technology named, ‘Karry go’, was in line with the cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Muhammed said the programme during implementation will put in check issues of insecurity, as all information about the travellers final destinations would have been collated from the digital manifest generated in the cause of processing their payment for the journey.

He stated,

“It is our hope that when this programme comes into full implementation, a lot more sanity would have been enthroned in the road transport sector. After this official launching, all our members across the country will be properly trained on what should be done to achieve greater results. This is because we need personnel and men to handle the equipment to be used. For instance, non-internet P.O.S, which will function without a network, because those in the remote areas would be deployed.”
