The Ikeja Local Organisation of Junior Chamber International (JCI) has been commended for sensitizing unit members of the Ikeja branch of the National Union of Road and Transport Workers (NURTW) on the global best practices of using the roads and safe driving.
The commendations were given by the Unit Head of Special Marshals, Federal Road Safety Corp Ojota Unit Command, Route Commander, Ande Apollo at a defensive driving campaign organized by the JCI Ikeja.
He noted that educating and empowering members of the NURTW will bring more knowledge to them on how to maintain their cars and use the road.
“Once a message of sensitization of this nature is sent out with a continuous reminder, there would be a change of attitude”.
“They would be more conscious and more self-aware of their safety and the safety of other road users. It is believed that most people who use the road are commercial drivers. Programs like this will give commercial drivers a rethink on reasons why they should obey road traffic regulations to ensure road safety”, Appollo explained.
Also speaking during the sensitization program, Grand Chairman, Ikeja branch of NURTW, Comrade Isiaka Apena applauded the initiative of JCI Ikeja for bringing the sensitization program to them.
Explaining why the campaign was organized, President, JCI Ikeja, – Tricia Inalu explained that what informed the defensive driving campaign seminar was to sensitize the public transport drivers on the best ways to use the roads and reduce accidents that happen on daily basis.
