During a health enlightenment lecture organised by the “Save a Life Foundation’ on Sunday, they have pledged to work with the Rivers state command of the Federal Road Safety Corps towards ensuring mental and overall wellbeing for drivers to curtail road accidents related deaths.
CEO/President of the foundation, Dr Richard Okoye, revealed that most road related deaths were preventable since they were caused by intoxicated drivers and reckless driving most times.
“Based on WHO premises, we are therefore, seeking for a collaboration with the FRSC to enhance testing and certification for drivers before allowing them to drive on Nigerian roads. This measure would indeed boost safety on our roads,” Okoye said.
The state Sector Commander, Corps Commandant Salisu Galadunchi, has thanked the Foundation for its collaboration stating that the foundation’s message of health was in accordance with the Corps’ 2020 strategic goal initiatives.
