‎

‎The partnership was disclosed in a press release issued on August 15, and signed by the Head of the Students Accident, Emergency and Safety Unit, Dr. Afamnede Godfrey Oguechuo, who described the initiative as an opportunity for staff and members of the university community to contribute to road safety and emergency response.

‎

‎Under the arrangement, the FRSC has approved a 75 per cent discount on registration fees for 25 qualified individuals from COOU who wish to join the FRSC Special Marshals.

‎

‎Dr. Oguechuo urged young, vibrant and service-oriented members of staff to take advantage of the opportunity, noting that participation would offer avenues for community service, professional development and contribution to national road safety efforts.

‎

‎He explained that certified Special Marshals would receive structured training in traffic management, accident response and road safety advocacy, among other areas relevant to their responsibilities.

‎

‎The initiative will also provide participants with opportunities to take part in road safety campaigns, workshops, seminars and other programmes organised under the FRSC volunteer structure.

‎

‎According to the Unit, the partnership is expected to strengthen road safety awareness within the university and surrounding communities, promote responsible road use and enhance emergency response efforts.
