Mr Eragbae Aikhoje, the Executive General Manager HSEQ, TotalEnergies Nigeria, said this during courtesy visit to the acting FRSC Corps Marshal, Dauda Biu, on Thursday in Abuja.
According to Aikhoje, there was need for more sensitisation on road saftey and improvement to ensure safety of lives and properties during the year end.
He added that the NRSP was established in response to the United Nations (UN) call to all member nations to take deliberate and committed actions to address the challenges of road traffic crashes and fatalities.
Aikhoje also said that the Private sectors and Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) collaborating were the solutions to crash-free society.
He also added that according to FRSC crash data for the past seven years, over 5000 persons were killed on Nigerian roads annually, indicating 15 lives lost daily.
He said that service to humanity and making Nigerian roads safe for all road users remains the focus.
As road saftey practitioners, we must take deliberate actions to reverse this narrative and working together, we can, he said.
Furthermore, he gave assurance to the FRSC of the associations’ continued support on projects and programmes of the Corps for all road safety improvement efforts.
Dauda Biu,, the acting FRSC Corps Marshal, appreciated the partners cooperation to achieve the Corps’ corporate strategic goals in some areas.
The acting Corps Marshal said that the collaborative effort was aimed at achieving the UN goals for road saftey to reduce road crash fatality.
He also said that NRSP has always contributed immensely to the development and growth of the FRSC.
We believe in your intervention always and appreciate your efforts . We need them more because they are never enough, he said.
