Anthony disclosed that the government had requested the establishment of a central motor park to coordinate and monitor vehicles entering and leaving Adamawa.
According to her, the proposed facility would improve transportation management and help address security challenges by ensuring better monitoring of vehicular movements.
The commissioner also revealed that Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri had approved the addition of 10 buses to ease transportation difficulties in the state.
She added that the government was considering converting some existing vehicles into Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered buses to improve public transportation services.
On security, Anthony emphasised the need for adequate personnel to monitor motor park activities and regulate the movement of vehicles.
She, however, expressed concern over the shortage of manpower in the Ministry of Transportation, noting that additional personnel were needed for effective enforcement of regulations.
The commissioner assured residents that the ministry remained committed to addressing challenges in the transportation sector and ensuring the smooth movement of vehicles across the state.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the Correspondents' Chapel, Ibrahim Kado, commended Anthony for engaging journalists and providing clarification on the ministry's activities.
