The 7411 Bureau of National Directory will be opened 24hours daily all through the Xmas/Yuletide Period.
A statement from Okeowo Desmond, CEO’s office of the directory indicated that Nigerians who are willing to travel most especially on the dreaded Lagos Ibadan expressway can breathe relief as they will now receive standard up-to date conditions of the express way before and as they travel the road.
In a twist, the Chief Executive office said, “we at the Bureau of information would not be going on holidays. We are in High talks with Federal road safety Corp members and the surveillance team of The Federal ministry of works.
The comfort of our people- Nigerians matters to us, hence I have instructed that our call centre be operated and our multi-lingual agents are on standby, to share life saving updates to commuters who wishes to dial 7411 during the holidays” he said
Okeowo said “Myself, I have cancelled my holiday trip with my family to ensure quality is given”
Emergency updates, Police Telephone numbers, Ambulances dispatch and approved taxi operator/ approved taxi parks by the ministry of transportation is already set to be given out to 7411 callers this Xmas period to ensure safety.
The 7411 Bureau of Information is the first of its kind in the whole of West Africa, and we are proud of what we do concluded Okeowo.
