Since assuming office two years ago, Hon. Dikko Salami has steered Pacesetter Transport Services (PTS) through a period of unprecedented growth and modernization.
Under his leadership, the agency has expanded its intra-city routes from just 2 to an impressive 39 within Ibadan Metropolis, while also pioneering inter-state operations with 20 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses now serving key corridors like Ibadan–Lagos and Ibadan–Abuja.
