The FRSC Unit Commander in Ojota, Lagos State, Mr Spence Olakunjo, disclosed this today when he received a management team from Nehemiah Grace Developers Ltd. (NGDL) which paid him a courtesy visit.

The Unit Commander commended the cooperation shown by the nation’s motoring public to achieving a significant reduction in road accidents in the country since 1988 when the corps was established.

Olakunjo, an Asst. Corps Commander, said these companies and institutions should take advantage of the scheme and synergize with the FRSC to ensure adequate training for their drivers to avoid unnecessary loss of lives, noting that it will also assist to secure their huge investments in their vehicle acquisition and other property.

Head of the NGDL delegation, ACP Tunde Sunmonu (retired), expressed the company’s acknowledgement of the important role that the FRSC is playing in the management of the nation’s numerous roads to ensure sanity, adding that its national relevance cannot be over-emphasized.

Mr Sunmonu, the Company’s Group General Manager (Services), said the property development company would count on FRSC’s assistance at periodic intervals, to help train its drivers and transport officials on road applications, vehicle maintenance, regularization of vehicle particulars and other operational tools, with the overall aim of improving their performances and ensuring good usage of our roads.

He thanked the agency for the past assistance and understanding its men on the field had shown the company’s vehicle operators at various times.
