The Delta State Government has inaugurated the Delta State Traffic Management Agency (DESTMA).

The agency is saddled with a responsibility to improve traffic compliance, ensure safe reliable and incident free transportation on roads in the state.

According to the State Commissioner for Transport, Mr Vincent Uduaghan, DESTMA has been modelled after the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) in recognition of its laudable achievements in Lagos.

For eight days, pioneer officials of the agency, drawn from the civil service and the public have undergone an induction programme comprising paramilitary training and conducted by the Army and Police in preparation for the job ahead.

While congratulating the newly inducted officers of the agency, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa said that the setting up of the agency was meant to check bad behaviour by road users and enhance free flow of traffic, safety and security on Delta roads.

The operations of the agency would commence in three stations; Asaba, Warri/Effurun and Ughelli, while others stations would come up in due course.
