Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Road transport unions play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and security of road users in many parts of Nigeria. In Bida LGA, Niger State, road transport unions are not only involved in facilitating transportation but also contribute to maintaining public safety and security. According to Emeka and Adamu (2024), these unions help in the monitoring of activities along major roads, reporting criminal activities, and ensuring that drivers comply with security regulations. However, the role of these unions in security surveillance has not been extensively studied. This research seeks to evaluate how road transport unions in Bida LGA contribute to improving security along major transportation routes, particularly in combating crimes such as theft, kidnapping, and other forms of road-related violence.

This study aims to appraise the role of these unions in enhancing security surveillance in Bida LGA.
