Today marked history in the Nigerian road safety
regulations, as the FRSC has taken a step further to enforce the installation of
speed limiting devices on all vehicles plying the Nigerian roads, starting with
public transport operators.
This was made public at a FRSC organized programme tagged: 2nd
Stakeholders Forum on Speed Limiting Device Enforcement In Nigeria, held at The
Banquet Hall, Sheraton Hotels & Towers, Ikeja, Lagos State today.
During his official presentation, the FRSC boss, Corps
Marshal Osita Chidoka, OFR, emphasized on the numerous benefits of enforcing the
installation of speed limiters on vehicles plying Nigerian roads. He further
called on all stakeholders in the transport sector- from NUPENG, NURTW, RTEAN,
LUBOAN, NARTO, PTD, VIO, LAMATA, LASTMA, etc to please cooperate and join FRSC
in enforcing this new law.
The occasion was graced with so many dignitaries and top
players in the Nigerian transport sector, including the Governor of Lagos
State, His Excellency Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), who was ably represented by
the Commissioner for Transport, Lagos State, Comrade Kayode Opeifa, and a host
of other transport industry giants, including the MD/CEOs of- ABC Transport
Plc, Mr. Frank Nneji, CHISCO Transport, God Is Good Motors, Dangote Transport, Nigeria
Brewery Plc, Golden Penny Transport of Flour Mills, etc.
This to me is a commendable move by the FRSC towards
curtailing the high rate of road accidents in Nigeria, especially now that we
are approaching the heat of ember months.
Stay safe, don’t drive if you are drunk, don’t drink if you
will drive, and remember that: OVERSPEEDING KILLS!!!
