Representative of the company, Mr Adeyemi Olanrewaju-Isma’il handed over the traffic shelters to the agency in Kano on Tuesday.

He reiterated commitment of the company to work with relevant government agencies to better the working conditions of their personnel.

Responding the Managing Director of the Agency, Baffa Babba-Dan’agundi lauded the gesture, adding that it was worthy of commendation.

He urged other organisations to assist government to fast track sustainable social and economic development of the state.
