Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning.

LASDRI REWARDS 30 PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FOR DILIGENCE, SAFETY .(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE


In a bid to inculcate the requisite positive road culture and sanity in motorists and the commuting public, it is important to introduce an awards programme for all categories of drivers in the private and commercial sectors who have exhibited due diligence and professionalism towards ensuring safety on the roads.

Commissioner of Transportation, Mr. Oluwseun Osiyemi stated this at the Year 2023 Drivers Recognition and Awards ceremony organised by the Lagos State Drivers’ Institute (LASDRI) with the theme, “Nigerian Drivers in the Face of Today’s Economy” held recently at STO Resource Centre, CBD, Alausa Ikeja.                                    
The Commissioner, who was represented by the Director, Transport Operation, Mr. Olasunkanmi Ojoowuro, explained that the incentives being awarded to recipients are in the recognition of their adherence to safety rules and regulations while on the job, noting that it is one thing to understand the safety rules and it is something entirely different to put that knowledge into action, hence, the need to embrace drivers’ award initiative.

He commended the awardees for the distinguished professional ethics they have displayed while on the job, adding that the gesture will send a strong positive message to others on the importance of maintaining a safe workplace and re-echo the value that the government places on a healthy and sane environment.
