The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it will collaborate with the Nigerian Army on intelligence sharing and organisation of periodic workshops for security agencies.
The Zonal Commanding Officer (ZCO) in charge of Lagos and Ogun states, Mrs Ann Oladayo, an Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) said this in a statement issued on Wednesday in Lagos.
Oladayo listed other areas for collaboration to include security cover for special operations, training and retraining of drivers and vehicles safety.
She said this when she led other senior officers of the corps to the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Farouk Mijinyawa.
According to her, the visit is in a bid to promote the FRSC 2025 Strategic goal two as a lead agency in traffic management and administration in the country.
”The corps will like to bring our professionalism to help in training your new Army recruits in driving. We will also want to engage some of your retiring officers, who intend taking driving as a profession.”
Responding, the GOC said that though, the responsibilities of the Nigerian Army was enormous, it has been able to stabilise security in both states.
Mijinyawa said that the Army was currently collaborating with other security agencies like FRSC, the Police, Customs and others to ensure safety and security of lives.
He pledged the Army’s continuous support and collaboration with the FRSC to ensure safety and security.
In a related development, the FRSC ZCO also visited the Zonal Coordinator, Nigerian Correctional Service; Zone A, Lagos, ACG Ope Fatinikun, where inter-agencies collaboration and synergy were also discussed.
During the interactive session, questions bothering on stigmatisation of ex-convicts, drivers’ license acquisition, and management of road traffic offenders charged to correctional facilities were addressed. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
