The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has urged companies and institutions owning large vehicles fleet to key into its Road Transport Safety Standardisation Scheme (RTSSS).
TheNewsZenith gathered that FRSC designed RTSSS, specifically for big companies to ensure safer motoring.
The FRSC Unit Commander in Ojota, Mr Spence Olakunjo, gave the advice when he received a management team from Nehemiah Grace Developers Ltd. (NGDL) his office, on Thursday, Lagos.
Olakunle commended the motoring public for cooperating with FRSC towards achieving a significant reduction in road accidents on Nigerian highways.
According the Asst. Corps Commander, these companies and institutions should synergise with the FRSC in providing effective training of their drivers.
”This is apt, to avoid unnecessary loss of lives, it will also assist to secure their huge investments in their vehicle acquisition,” Olakunle said.
The Head of the NGDL delegation, ACP Tunde Sunmonu (retired), expressed the company’s acknowledgement of the important role the FRSC is playing in the management of the nation’s numerous roads for sanity.

Such trading, he said would be on road applications, vehicle maintenance, regularisation of vehicle particulars and other operational tools.
