Road crashes: Namibia seeks FRSC’s help
The Namibian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Humphrey Geiseb, is seeking assistance from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for the two countries to explore cooperation in the area of road safety and crash reduction.
The Namibian diplomat stated this during his courtesy visit to the national headquarters of the FRSC on Wednesday in Abuja.
In a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO), Bisi Kazeem, Mr. Geiseb said this was necessary as Namibia is searching for strategic initiatives that could reduce crashes and fatalities in Namibia’s south-western region.
He revealed that Namibia found FRSC as a model to be domesticated in his country, noting that his visit was to find out what the FRSC had put in place to mitigate crashes in Nigeria.
“This has also led to a massive reduction in deaths and injuries on the road, and we are here to replicate this success story in Namibia.
“What we will learn from your success stories, I believe, will help reduce road traffic crashes in my country…I must say that I am honoured to be acquainted with the strategies put in place by your corps to mitigate crashes in Nigeria,” he said.
In his response, the FRSC’s Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, commended Namibia’s commitment to the safety of lives and properties in their country and the existing mutual relationship between the two countries.
