In his address, the OYRTMA Boss expressed appreciation to the Nigerian Police Force, Oyo State Command for the camaraderie and support given OYRTMA over the years.

He however emphasized the need for further integration and collaboration between the agencies especially in the areas of intelligence gathering and sharing as well as training and retraining of men and officers of OYRTMA.

In her response, the Commissioner of Police said: “hitherto, I had found it difficult differentiating OYRTMA from the Federal Road Safety Corps for some reasons. Today, the recent activities of the agency has made it to stand out and the difference is crystal clear in Oyo State. I must commend the leadership of OYRTMA for executing policies and programs that has helped in reducing traffic jam and accidents in the State”.
