The permanent secretary said: \u201cThis is one of the most positive council meetings. It is so sad that we have over looked road signage. All along, our focus has been on the big pictures and we forgot the little thing that could impact, change and add value to our road works.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take our destiny in our hands, provide this facility to our people to make our country visitor friendly and enhance value of the road infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, the four-day conference will address issues relating to road signage nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
