State-owned Benue Links Transport Company has urged their drivers to be security conscious wherever they find themselves, given the current security situation in the country.
The General Manager, Comrade Alexander Fanafa, gave the advice to drivers at the company’s Head Office in Makurdi.
Fanafa emphasized that the transport business requires peace more than any other business in the country, as drivers move from every part of the nation, and therefore, there is a need to protect one another.
He outlined key security measures, advising drivers to “avoid unnecessary and unhealthy jokes that may trigger chain reactions, watch your environment, and be vigilant.”
Fanafa further explained that security is a collective responsibility that involves everyone, and it is essential that everyone works together to help the Gov. Alia administration to fight insecurity and manage the crisis situation in Benue State.
He pleaded with drivers to pay attention to instructions regarding security matters.
He also emphasized the importance of not discriminating and mixing together despite differences to transact business and work together as a people.
Fanafa warned against conveying goods or items without proper inspections.
“No waybill should be collected without being opened for their proper check or inspection.”
He advised drivers to ascertain passengers’ luggage and waybills to confirm their contents and alert the head office or the closest security officer if they find any counterfeit items.
Fanafa further advised drivers to avoid driving at night and, if necessary, to drive into a police or military checkpoint or station to sleep over with passengers and continue their journey during the day when it is safer.
He also warned that company vehicles should not be used to convey unknown groups of people without checking with the head office.
