He called on the newly recruited men and women of EDSTMA to do their job effectively by putting the interest of the people at heart as they discharge their duties.
Victoria Amarachi on her part said the introduction of EDSTMA is a commitment on the part of the government to improve traffic situation in the state and need commendation from the citizens. She called on the officials of EDSTMA to put in their best and make the government proud.
Areas monitored were Mission Road, New Benin, Aduwawa, Ramat Park, Third East Circular Road, Sapele Road, amongst others.
