NADMO warns of disaster as Techiman North private schools use tricycles as ‘school bus’

Private schools in the Techiman North District of the Bono East Region have resorted to using tricycles and unapproved vehicles to transport pupils, which poses a safety risk, according to Techiman North District NADMO Director Samuel Agyei Effah.

NADMO has set up a checkpoint on the Tuobodom-Techiman Highway to inspect school buses and found some schools using unsafe vehicles, including pick-up trucks and poorly maintained buses without insurance or proper documentation.

Effah warned that NADMO will continue inspections and collaborate with the police to prosecute schools that do not improve their transport systems.
