Anambra to set up computer-based vehicle inspection centre
The Anambra state government said that it would set up a computer-based vehicle inspection centre to replace the old ways of checking vehicles for road worthiness.
The Head, Vehicle Inspection Office, Ministry of Transport, Mr. Christopher Okeke, made this known in Awka on the sidelines of the ongoing week of the 2017 edition West African Road Safety Organisation (WARSO) titled ‘Save Lives, Slow Down.’
He added that the state government is committed to ensuring rickety vehicles are easily detected and ordered off the roads.
“The vehicle inspection, when established, centre will ensure that vehicle inspection will no longer be done manually.
“Before any vehicle in Anambra state is issued certificate of road worthiness, the vehicle must have undergone the computer-based testing.
“This effort will go a long way in minimising accidents on our roads,” he said.
According to him, the centre would be a multi-purpose one with facilities for checking head-lamps, brakes and other parts of vehicles.
