Post by: TGD on Feb 27, 2013, 11:31 PM
 THE Federal Executive Council (FEC) Wednesday began moves for the implementation of a four-year national strategy on road safety policy by approving the constitution of an inter-ministerial implementation committee on its evolution.

The road safety policy, which is billed to last from 2012-2016, would enhance the management and control of road crashes across the country.

Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, said that the ministerial committee included the Ministries of Works, Transport, Health and Interior and the Corps Marshall of the Federal Roads Safety Commission (FRSC).

The inter-ministerial committee, which has six weeks to submit its report, is to study and fine tune the new policy, which is expected to cover training for drivers, issues of licencing, funds for road safety, collaboration with state governments as well as enlightenment and re-orientation of drivers and other road users.

Maku stated that the approval and constitution of the draft strategy followed its submission by the FRSC in response to the United Nations declaration of the present decade as a period to take action on road safety for all countries.
