Bauchi Police Task Personnel On Third Party Insurance Compliance
By George Coben, Bauchi
The Bauchi State Police Command has urged all personnel to demonstrate professionalism and integrity throughout the process of ensuring motorists comply with the Third Party Insurance policy.
This was contained in a statement by the Command’s Spokesperson, CSP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil.
The release said the initiative aligns with section 68 of the Insurance Act and sections 1, 2-3 of the Motor Vehicle (Third-Party Insurance) Act, which require all vehicle owners to secure a minimum of Third Party Insurance before operating their vehicles on Nigerian roads.
According to the statement, the Bauchi State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Auwal Musa Muhammad, underscored the vital role that public trust and confidence play in the effectiveness of the Police Force.
He said officers must maintain high standards of conduct, as any breaches will carry profound implications.
Muhammad encouraged all vehicle owners in the state to ensure their Insurance documents are current, thus contributing to a safer driving environment for everyone.
He said to facilitate the enforcement, a dedicated team comprising Divisional Traffic Officers (DTOs), representatives from the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and staff from the Bauchi State Internal Revenue Service, would be effectively involved.
He said that collaborating together would enhance road safety and effectively uphold the law for the benefit of the entire community.
