Motorists have been enjoined to apply all
safety rules during this festive season to ensure accident-free New
Year and Christmas celebrations.
This safety campaign was taken to notable
motor parks in Lagos by the Federal Road Safety Corps, in partnership
with Honeywell Flour Mills Plc where drivers were enlightened on safe
driving culture.
Tagged ‘Crash the Crash’, the initiative,
according to Managing Director, Honeywell Flour Mills Plc, Mr. Lanre
Jaiyeola, is to create awareness among motorists on the need to ensure
safety on the road, by observing all safety rules while driving.
He said “for us at Honeywell Flour Mills,
we consider safety very critical, we move our products throughout
Nigeria, from Lagos to other various locations in Nigeria. Therefore, it
is important that we not only encourage all drivers to be careful when
they drive on the roads but also to extend it to Lagosians and Nigerians
to be safety conscious as they drive especially at these time of the
year when there is every tendency for people to be in a hurry.” Speaking
at Ojota Motor Park, Lagos where the road show kicked off, Unit
Commander, FRSC, Ojota, Assistant Corps Commandant Ganiyu Hamzat,
admonished the drivers to adhere to road traffic rules and regulations.
He also cautioned them to avoid alcohol
while driving, saying “many people take alcohol and drive during this
period, we should desist from that. We have just one life to live.”
