 FRSC, Anambra Govt Strengthen Partnership on Grassroots Road Safety Awareness


By Chisom Okpala


The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Anambra State Government have renewed their commitment to strengthening grassroots road safety awareness and reducing road traffic crashes across the state.


The commitment was made when the Sector Commander of the FRSC in Anambra, Corps Commander Bridget Asakhauno, paid a courtesy visit to the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Barr. Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka, in his office on Aug. 26.


The meeting provided an opportunity for both institutions to explore areas of collaboration, particularly in promoting community based road safety initiatives through local government authorities and grassroots communities.


Discussions focused on intensifying public enlightenment on safe driving practices, compliance with traffic regulations, responsible road use and pedestrian safety.


They also emphasised the need to raise awareness about the dangers of reckless driving, excessive speeding and other traffic violations that often lead to avoidable crashes.


Speaking during the meeting, Ezeaka stressed the need to take road safety campaigns beyond urban centres to communities at the grassroots.


He described local communities as critical stakeholders in promoting compliance with road safety regulations and advocated sustained sensitisation programmes in rural communities, schools, markets, motor parks and other public places.


According to him, such programmes will help educate motorists, commercial drivers, pedestrians and other road users on responsible road use and the need to prioritise safety.


Earlier, Asakhauno reaffirmed the Corps’ commitment to strengthening partnerships with relevant stakeholders to advance road safety education across the state.


She said collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs would enable the Corps to reach more grassroots communities through coordinated advocacy and public enlightenment programmes.


Asakhauno said the initiatives were aimed at promoting safer road use and reducing road traffic crashes.


The two officials expressed optimism that sustained institutional collaboration, increased public awareness and active community participation would enhance road safety consciousness, reduce traffic related fatalities and contribute to safer communities across Anambra.
