Drivers need periodic training – Stakeholders told
Accra, July 6, Ghanadot/GNA – Mr
Ebenezer Zokta Yevuyibor, President of the Accra-Hohoe-Ho
Cooperative Transport Society, has stressed the need for
stakeholders in the transport industry to organize periodic
training programmes for drivers to help reduce road
accidents.
He said when equipped with knowledge and skills about the
driving profession, drivers would be cautious enough to
avoid accidents.
Making the call in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA)
last Friday, Mr Yevuyibor expressed concern about the recent
carnage on the roads and urged colleague drivers to adhere
to traffic regulations and pay particular attention to
mechanical faults on their vehicles in order to save
precious and innocent lives.
Mr Yevuyibor, who is also the Secretary of the Novotel
Drivers Welfare Union, asked stakeholders not to only assist
drivers to acquire new vehicles, but more so they ought to
ensure that drivers were properly trained and equipped with
the required skills.
He asked drivers to be discipline and courteous to the
traveling public in order to win their confidence at all
times.
He further advised them to guard against all unethical
behaviours and acts that tended to soil the good image of
their profession.
