Extend Your Services To Sub-Sahara Africa – World Bank
The World Bank has called on the FRSC to extend its road safety management best practices to other sub-Sahara African countries.
Mr Justin Runji, the Bank’s Programme Officer on Sub Saharan African Transport, made the call when he visited the management of the commission in Abuja last Friday.
Runji said the FRSC had the capacity to do that through its numerous initiatives on traffic administration, including the deployment of information technology facilities.
He commended the commission for its effective management of data, analysis of trends and projection of road traffic accidents in the country.
Responding, Mr Osita Chidoka, the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive of FRSC, said the collaboration between the two organisations had led to the creation of safe corridor model components on the highways.
Chidoka added that some roads across the country had been identified and designated for rehabilitation, reconstruction and deployment of operation equipment.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the World Bank Programme on sub-Sahara African Transport is an initiative to facilitate policy development and capacity building in the transport sector.
It is also aimed at providing support to member countries in their efforts to pursue the millennium goals on road safety.
