FRSC, ExxonMobil, NNPC renew seatbelt campaign
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and ExxonMobil with its joint venture partner, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), recently launched a new public awareness campaign on road safety. Part of the focus of the campaign is aimed at enforcing seatbelt usage and other regulations on Nigeria’s roads. The campaign has become necessary if Nigeria is to meet its target of reducing motor vehicular accidents and deaths. It is a known fact that some Nigerians are still averse to the use of the car seat belt. This is quite disturbing. The need for sustained enlightenment and enforcement of road safety cannot be overemphasized.
