In a bid to curtail the Sky rocketing wave of accidents on Nigerian roads, the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has offered free training to no fewer than 2,850 drivers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) between January to June.

This was disclosed by the FCT Sector Commander of the FRSC, Mr. Charcles Nseobong Akpabio, during an exclusive chat with LEADERSHIP in his office.

According to Akpabi, the trainees, who were trained at various intervals, are both traffic offenders and voluntary drivers who need basic skill acquisition to be able to drive safely on Nigeria roads.

The sector commander, who further explained that his men and officers have made it mandatory for every traffic offender to go through their training, also called on the general pubic to come and be part of their training, programme as according to him, "these training modules are organised in such a way that participants are equipped with basic driving skills to be able to avoid most of the causes of road accidents".
