I looked at the Oransanye Committee Report....the report will break so many people's heart and it the way to go, for example: ARMTI was recommended for self financing because they've been operational for more than 32years. NTA,FRCN and VON merged and renamed...

The reccomendation for scrapping of FRSC and sent to relevant departments like Ministry of Works, Police, Vehicle Inspection department and so on is interesting but the reccomendation was rejected by the government at that time. We await the implementation of the Report soon.

So many lofty recommendation in the report but they were rejected. One of the rejected reccomendation was abolishing of both Christian and Muslim Pilgrim board. I don't know why government will be paying or sponsoring people to go pray to their God.

Like they also recommended that Govt should restrict the subsidy of foreign currency for such program. All of which was rejected by the then administration...Hope those will be implemented
