“Reps Urge Federal Government to Exempt Military Personnel from Airport Toll Gates”
The House of Representatives has taken a stand on the recent policy regarding toll gates at airports, particularly concerning the exemption of military personnel from toll payments. This resolution, prompted by a motion brought forward by Abdulsamad Dasuki during a plenary session, reflects the House’s concern for the welfare and recognition of members of the Armed Forces.
Dasuki’s motion emphasizes the invaluable service rendered by the Armed Forces in safeguarding the nation’s security and territorial integrity. He highlights their contributions in various domains, including protecting borders, combating armed banditry, and ensuring safe navigation in territorial waters. Given their dedication and sacrifice, Dasuki argues that it is fitting for military personnel to be exempted from toll payments at airports and major train stations.
The motion resonated with fellow lawmakers, who echoed the sentiment that the government should acknowledge the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces by granting them certain privileges. The resolution passed by the House urges the Federal Government to implement this exemption, ensuring that military personnel are not burdened with tollgate fees and parking payments at airports, seaports, and train stations nationwide.
Furthermore, the House has directed relevant committees to oversee the implementation of this exemption, underscoring the importance of ensuring compliance with the resolution. This proactive approach demonstrates the commitment of the House to advocating for the welfare and recognition of military personnel, who continue to serve the nation with dedication and selflessness.
