Kenyan authorities are seeking technical support of the Federal Road Safety Corps to reduce road traffic crashes and enhance the country’s traffic management system.

The Kenya High Commissioner to Nigeria, Isaac Parashina, said this during his visit to the FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, in Abuja.

Mr Parashina commended the FRSC for efficient deployment of technology in achieving its corporate mandate of eradicating road crashes and making the highways safe.

According to the High Commissioner, going by what he has seen in terms of technology, the Kenyan Road Traffic Management Authority will always be open to learning from the FRSC.

He stated, “We just need to cross our imaginary boundaries and learn from each other while establishing strong collaborations, including in the area of capacity building,”

Mr Parashina emphasised that road safety guarantees not only human lives, but also played a cardinal role in guaranteeing the protection of property from crash-related damages and destructions.

Responding, the FRSC corps marshal appreciated him for the visit, stating that the corps was also open to learning at all times as there were still things that the corps could learn from the Kenyan authorities.

Mr Mohammed explained that the corps was presently witnessing a massive rebirth and repositioning on all fronts, most especially in the areas of training and human development as well as in operations.

The FRSC boss welcomed the proposition of the High Commissioner for a partnership and fruitful collaborations.

He assured that the corps operated an open door policy, as such, would welcome all forms of partnership that aligns with its statutory mandate.

Others who were present at the meeting include the Deputy High Commissioner, Samuel Mogere, Ken and members of management of the corps.
