Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s decision to cap traffic fines at ₦10,000 aims to alleviate the economic strain on Anambra residents, particularly with rising costs of living. This policy change is part of his administration’s broader commitment to fostering inclusive governance and fairness. Here are some key aspects:
– Maximum Fine: ₦10,000 for any traffic offense, effective October 14, 2025
– Task Force: Establishment of a special task force to curb illegal tax collection
– Digital Payment: Cash collections will be remitted directly to government coffers
– Transport Development: Plans to designate proper bus stops with markings for better traffic management
This move has been well-received by transport stakeholders, who endorse Soludo’s re-election bid, praising his administration’s efforts in road construction and rehabilitation. The governor’s initiatives aim to balance law enforcement with compassion, addressing everyday challenges faced by drivers and citizens.
