 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics.

 FRSC Urges Motorists to Observe Safety Measures as Rainy Season Intensifies


By Ruth Orji 


The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Anambra State Sector Command, has called on motorists to exercise greater caution and strictly observe all safety measures while driving as the rainy season intensifies across the country.


The Sector Commander, Corps Commander Bridget Asekhanuo on July 14,  gave the advice in a statement issued by the Sector Public Education Officer, SRC Margaret Onabe, noting that the warning became necessary following forecasts of heavier rainfall and the increased risk of road traffic crashes associated with adverse weather conditions.


She urged motorists to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy before embarking on any journey, with particular attention to the condition of their tyres. According to her, tyres should have adequate tread depth and proper traction to maintain effective grip on wet road surfaces.


Asekhanuo described tyres as one of the most critical safety components of any vehicle because they are the only points of contact with the road. She warned that driving during rainfall poses significant risks due to reduced visibility, slippery road surfaces and other hazardous conditions capable of causing avoidable crashes if appropriate precautions are not taken.


The Sector Commander advised drivers to thoroughly clean their vehicle windows and windshields, both inside and outside, and inspect essential safety components, including headlights, brake lights, tail lights, turn signals, windscreen wipers and wiper blades, to ensure they are in good working condition.


She also urged motorists to switch on their vehicle lights whenever it rains, regardless of whether it is daytime or nighttime, to improve visibility for themselves and other road users.


In addition, Asekhanuo advised drivers to reduce speed, maintain a safe following distance and adopt what she described as the "common sense speed limit" in line with prevailing weather and road conditions.


To reinforce compliance with these safety measures, the Sector Commander directed all Unit Commanders across Anambra State to intensify traffic calming operations, sustain public enlightenment campaigns and pay special attention to the condition of vehicle windscreen wipers during routine patrols and enforcement activities throughout the rainy season.


Reaffirming the Corps' commitment to reducing road traffic crashes, Asekhanuo called on all road users to cooperate with the FRSC by driving responsibly and obeying all traffic regulations.
