Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Plateau State Government has announced that it has set out modalities to decongest the Jos City center and its environs.<\/p>\n

The state government noted that undertaking the action would help improve the security of lives and properties within the metropolis.<\/p>\n

Secretary to the Government of the State, Samuel Jatau, made this known while inspecting route facilities for the intra-city mass transit buses acquired by the government, which will begin operations soon.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reported that a total of 14 digitalised 80-seater buses arrived in Jos last week after being purchased by the state government from Germany.<\/p>\n

Jatau informed journalists on Wednesday that the initiative aims to transition Plateau state into a well-organized intra-city transport system, which would also significantly alleviate the current hardships faced by the people.<\/p>\n

Jatau stated, \u201cAs you can see, we\u2019re here on behalf of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the critical sectors where people are suffering is the transportation sector; the cost of food is very high, but transportation costs are also significant.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we want to alleviate this hardship for our people, and that is why we need to quickly start this project,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we have a few issues to sort out, one of which is why we\u2019re here today because you can see how congested the terminus market area is.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to clear out these areas because these buses are huge, and our routes, in some cases, are a bit narrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to secure parking spaces for them and other necessary facilities,\u201d Jatau explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re here, to see how we can partner with the traders to relocate them to designated areas so that they can also conduct their businesses comfortably.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see that the traders are actively involved in the discussion and are also providing solutions because this government listens to its people; this government is for the people, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re involving everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further stated, \u201cDecongesting the Jos City Center will help improve the security of lives and properties of citizens of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
