Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Zonal Commanding Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps, ACM Benjamin Chidibere Nkwonta has flagged off a safety campaign for commercial drivers and motorists in Cross River State.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event has a theme: Maintain Safe Speed, Avoid Night Travel and Enjoy Quality Road Experience.<\/p>\n

Nkwonta said the theme is apt and that the Corps hopes it would help reduce crashes and fatalities on Nigerian roads by 15 -20%.<\/p>\n

He also added that speeding is responsible for 60% of all road crashes in the country in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe theme for this year is apt at this time because from data speeding is responsible for over 60%of crashes recorded in the last 10 years in Nigeria, hence it is discouraged.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso night travels are prevalent during this time and the negative results has been overwhelming.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis campaign aims to reduce by 15-20% road traffic crashes and fatalities\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that the country owes it a duty to protect its citizens against negative road crashes across the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking, the sector commander of the FRSC in the state, Isaac Ameh said the campaign will complement other mechanisms aimed at stamping kit avoidable road crashes.<\/p>\n

Governor Ben Ayade, represented by his Deputy, Professor Ivara Esu said road safety is a cardinal aspect of the nation\u2019s security and development index.<\/p>\n

He said his administration will do everything possible to safeguard it so as to reduce casualties on the roads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
