The Oyo state Head of Service, Mrs Amidat Agboola has enjoined vehicle inspection officers (VIOs) to shun every form of fraud and restrain from receiving bribes in the discharge of their duties.
Agboola gave this charge at a one-day training and capacity development programme for vehicle inspection officers held at the premises of the Oyo state vehicle inspection service (VIS) centre.
Agboola, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Service Matters, Alhaji Fatai Oladeinde, said it was imperative for the officers to act within the ambit of the law and within service rules, noting that the same law that guides the civil service also guides their practice.
She harped on the need for the officers to adhere to the code of conduct and ethics which include honesty, punctuality, transparency.
Aside from ensuring safety on roads, Agboola stressed that the officers also had a responsibility to generate revenue for the state government, but must do so with the utmost integrity.
Earlier, the commissioner for Public Works and Transport, Professor Dahud Shangodoyin implored the officers to be efficient and effective in discharging their duties stressing that vehicle inspection is geared towards the safety of the road and other road users. Shangodoyin acknowledged that many petitions had been raised as regards the conduct of some of the officers, enjoining them to act within the provision of the law.
In his opening remarks, the director of VIS, Mr James Ajayi, said the training was aimed at increasing efficiency among officers and giving the relatively newly recruited officers on-the-job training.
