Speaking to our reporter shortly after he received the award, Ifedioranma said it gave him joy seeing people smile while he was on duty.
He said he is happy and joyful when the road is cleared and traffic is flowing normally.
On why he chose traffic control which is not a well-paying job, he said during the construction of a flyover in Awka, he saw a woman crying bitterly that she had been on traffic for hours and her child was left with no one in the school. So, he felt the pain and decided to aid traffic decongestion.
