Kaduna State government on Tuesday engaged 2,550 people to work in the newly created Kaduna State Trafic And Environmental Law Enforcement Agency, KASTELEA.
General Manager of KASTELEA, Colonel Abdullahi Zubairu Ahmed(retd) who disclosed this Wednesday at Kachia while supervising the training of the recruited staff, said the agency was created to bring about sanity among road users in the state.
According to him, the agency is empowered by law to control and regulate trafic aroung Kaduna metropolis as well as any other city within Kaduna State.
“This is the first kind of employment of about 2,550 people that was conducted without any rancour. By the time we are done with the training of the newly recruited personnel, we will bring about a better condition of living in the state,” he said.
He further said besides creating employment, the agency will help in generating revenue for the state and warned whoever is caught violating trafic regulation would be made to pay a token to the state.
Also speaking to journalists, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of KASTELEA, Colonel Moses Zamani commended Governor El-Rufai for kepping faith with his campaign promises.
“People drive without obeying traffic laws in Kaduna State. So, the major aim is to ensure we sanitise road traffic and bring about discipline to motorists,” Zamani said.
According to him, once the agency kicks off, people selling and buying at the roadsides would be cleared to allow motorists use the road.
