CTRA Partners UCDWA, Launches Groundbreaking Accident Welfare Scheme For Commercial Drivers

Press Release!

I'm thrilled to announce that the Cross River State Commercial Transport Regulatory Agency (CTRA), in partnership with the Unified Commercial Drivers Welfare Association (UCDWA), has launched a groundbreaking accident welfare scheme for commercial drivers and residents!

As part of Senator Prince Bassey Otu's commitment to the welfare of all Cross River residents using commercial vehicles, this pioneering initiative provides first aid accident welfare services at Asi-Ukpo Hospital, ensuring timely medical attention in case of emergencies.

To benefit from this scheme, commercial drivers must:

•Register with CTRA

Make yearly renewal with the Agency

•Have a branded vehicle

•Register with Unified Commercial Drivers Welfare Association CRS

I'm proud to say that Governor Otu's administration has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the people's welfare through various initiatives, including rescinding the 25-year ban on employment into the state civil service and approving major infrastructure interventions.

As chairman of the agency, I assure you that this administration will continue to prioritize people's needs and I urge all commercial transport operators to take advantage of this opportunity and brand their vehicles as branding is set to commence on October 2,2024. 

With this new alliance with the leadership of the Unified Commercial Drivers Welfare Association, I promise more transformative policies to enhancing our operators' welfare and state's prosperity.

Let's work together for a better Cross River

Signed:

Efa Nyong, 

Chairman, 

CRS CTRA
