The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Anambra State has emphasized the need for partnership with private organizations to reduce road accidents on the nation’s highways.
The sector commander, Mr Adeoye Irelewuyi said during a visit to WINCO Foam factory in Awka that such partnership would include training company drivers of articulated vehicles targeted at safer motoring environment.
He advised corporate bodies with up to 10 vehicles on the fleet to do proper documentation to avoid unnecessary embarrassment by Road Safety officials on the highways.
He reminded motorists of the need to always put their vehicles in order before plying the roads.
He said: “Your drivers will not only avoid being disturbed on the highway by Road Safety officials, but will arrive their destinations on time when their vehicles are properly documented.
“Some will wait until their papers are expired and the vehicles are impounded before they would go for renewal. That doesn’t speak good, especially for corporate organizations,” he said.
Irelewuyi appreciated the Management of the firm for its support to the Corps and called for sustenance.
Receiving Irelewuyi to the factory, the Managing Director, Dr Godwin Okafor appreciated the FRSC and appealed for assistance, especially in the area of easy movement of goods from its factories to various destinations.
