The Federal Road Safety Corps is working toward reducing road crashes and injuries by 5 per cent, the Corps Marshall, Mr Dauda Biu, said on Saturday in Makurdi.
Biu, who was represented by Corps Commander, Special Marshals and External Relations, Mrs Comfort Asom, said FRSC had become a “beacon in road safety administration in West Africa and beyond”. “The present administration of the corps will ensure complete realisation of 5% reduction of road traffic deaths and injuries with the aid of improving capacity for data collection, analysis and management to enhance road safety policy formulation,” he said
Biu urged participants at the workshop to exhibit the highest level of discipline and courtesy for effective eradication of road traffic crashes by putting in place checks on the highways. Ugbebor, who was represented by the Zonal Coordinator, Mr Abubakar Adamu, described volunteerism as “a way of life; service to communities around us and to ourselves”.
