The Head of the Lagos Island Unit Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Route Commander Philip Ogar, emphasised that road safety is a collective duty that encompasses all members of the public.

He made this statement while conducting road safety training for 40 students from Victoria Island Secondary School, Lagos, in collaboration with Natural Oilfield Services.

Ogar further mentioned that children have the potential to encourage a safer road environment by acquiring knowledge and insights that they can share with their parents.

“By exchanging best road practices with the pupils, we can tackle challenges on the road and make progress in easing road accidents.”

He said children become unfortunate casualties in road accidents due to a lack of awareness, hence the need for enlightenment.

Former Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mrs. Adetola Salau, said accidents occur due to negligence. 

“We need to have zero victims on the roads. So, let us ensure road safety and save lives,” she said.

She said educating the younger generation is proactive for preventing accidents.

Headteacher, Mrs Alimi Yusuf, praised the oil firm for the initiative. 

NOSL promotes road safety and creates safe and secure road safety protocols.
