The Bus Conductors Association of Nigeria (BCAN) has said
that the proposed ban of yellow buses (Danfos) by the Lagos State Government
would assist in professionalising their jobs.
The National President of the association, Mr Israel
Adeshola, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Lagos that the
development would have positive impacts on the conductor’s’ job in the state.
“The ban is going to have positive impacts on our members;
it will promote and elevate our jobs.
“Members of the society have already categorised conductors
as touts and illiterates.
“But with the new government policy on transportation
system, people will have to get approval from political leaders and traditional
rulers before becoming conductor in Lagos State.
“There is no way government can take such decision and
sideline over 6000 registered members of BCAN in the state.
“I am sure we are not going to be marginalised in the
upcoming system, we are going to be involved in making Lagos a Mega City,’’ he
said.
According to him, the association would soon introduce
uniforms with tag and identification numbers for easy identification of every
conductor.
Adeshola said that conductor’s job was vital in the
transportation sector.
