The company was the first to suspend operations early
March at the escalation of the Covid-19 pandemic across the globe, and
consequent devastation of lives and businesses.
The PMT management,in making the decision to resume, has
also mandated it's staff across the nation to adhere to, and indeed,
strictly enforce recommended international/national protocol on
control of covid-19, including hand washing with soap and water at
entry points, social distancing, use of face masks for entire duration
of journeys by drivers and passengers alike, and use of alcohol based
hand sanitizers.
Instructively, all PMT passenger vehicles are to carry
only 50% of normal capacity, and at no extra cost to the passenger,
according to the management reopening manual for staff.
The management of the company has also provided infra -
red thermometers for screening of passengers and staff and equipment for
constant decontamination of depots and vehicles at points of departure
and arrival.
PMT chairman, Evangelist Sam Maduka Onyishi, reiterated
to staff that resumption of critical services to kickstart the economy
of families and the nation was more expedient than any immediate
consideration for personal profit.
" The cost of extra measures we have instituted and loss
of revenues that would come with reduction in carrying capacity, are
significant, but I consider them part of the continuing sacrifice we
make for the public good, well being and overall safety of
compatriots", he said.
" we have always maintained that PMT has never been just
about being a business; it is my own ministry through which I touch
lives.."
The company urges the travelling public to show
understanding, corporate to enforce seamless enforcement, and generally
see the new protocol as desirable and in everybody's best interest.
God bless Nigeria.
Management,
PMT Ltd.
