The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has announced a new initiative aimed at combating extortion faced by truck drivers in Nigeria. As part of this initiative, truckers will be provided with body cameras to document incidents of harassment and extortion. This move is expected to enhance accountability and transparency in the transportation sector. PEBEC's decision comes in response to increasing reports of extortion by various groups, which has significantly impacted the logistics and supply chain industry. The body cameras will serve as a tool for truckers to report incidents to authorities, thereby fostering a safer working environment. PEBEC is committed to improving the business climate in Nigeria and believes that this initiative will help restore confidence among truck operators. The program is part of broader efforts to streamline operations and reduce illegal activities affecting the transport sector.
