The Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), Kano state branch has re-elected members of its executive council to run
the affairs of the association for the next four years.
It was gathered that members of the association took the decision to re-elect the officials when no any other member indicated interest to
contest for the available positions up to the time of the elections.
Some of the re-elected officials include Sani idi Danfulani, Chairman;
Jamilu Suleiman, Treasurer;  Salisu Ibrahim Balarabe, Financial secretary; Ali Hamza Wudil, Auditor and Ado Usman, Public Relations
Officer (PRO).
Speaking to newsmen after their inauguration, Danfulani said scarcity
of foreign currencies was posing threat to the ability of NARTO
members to import spare parts for their vehicles manufactured abroad.
He added however, that Nigerians should support President Muhammdu Buhari in his efforts to rid the nation of corruption and insecurity,
saying before his emergence as president, transporters had endured
serious suffering.
“We struggled to ensure Buhari’s success at the 2015 elections because
our members have suffered especially in the height of the insurgency
in the North-east. Our vehicles have been burnt or seized together with
goods worth of huge amounts of money. But we are happy the situation
is subsiding so we have a duty to support Buhari,” Danfulani said.
      He also appealed to the federal government to repair damaged federal
roads across the county, noting that good roads were critical to
security and safety of citizens.
     On his part, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC) Kano Command, Aminu Umar Jabaka called on the NARTO members to install speed limiting devices on their vehicles, saying enforcement
for installing the devices would begin on April 1, 2016.
