Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has inaugurated 500 cadets and traffic marshals who successfully completed rigorous training under the Bauchi State Road Traffic Agency (BAROTA).
Speaking at the event, he said “These disciplined and dedicated individuals represent a new generation of leaders committed to improving road safety and traffic management in our state.
“BAROTA plays a crucial role in addressing road transport challenges, enforcing traffic laws, ensuring safety, and managing traffic flow.
“My administration is firmly committed to supporting the agency by providing resources, infrastructure, and ongoing training.
“We also plan to expand the workforce to 2,000 personnel, ensuring the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and compassion guide their operations.
“I have issued a stern warning against indiscipline, corruption, and abuse of power, emphasizing that such behavior will not be tolerated.
“At the same time, I assure the officers of their operational autonomy, urging them to stay focused on their responsibilities.
“To enhance BAROTA’s efficiency, I have directed local government chairmen to establish offices in their areas and collaborate closely with the agency.
“I commend the FRSC, Ministry of Works and Transport, and the Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly for their goodwill messages, recognizing BAROTA’s pivotal role in promoting road safety and orderliness in Bauchi State. Together, we are building a safer, more organized future for all.”
