During the visit, Dr. Amure provided a comprehensive briefing on LAMATA’s operational framework, collaborative approaches with stakeholders, and ongoing reform programs.

These initiatives include the Bus Reform Initiative (BRI) and the adoption of cleaner energy policies, with plans to integrate more electric vehicles and CNG buses into various bus routes across the state.
