“The FRSC has written letters to various secondary schools and urged interested school administrators to invite us to come and establish a road safety club in their schools.

“In addition, we are also retraining students who had established a road safety club already in their schools,” Olaluwoye told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He stated that the initiative was to create safety consciousness in the hearts of the students at a tender age, in order to save the Corps from the current challenges confronting it.

The Unit Commander stressed that going to schools to establish road safety clubs, would serve as an avenue to teach the young ones about safety.

He noted that the move would also enable them to obey road traffic rules on the highways whenever they attained the age of driving.

Olaluwoye said that the young ones could also call their parents to order, having acquired the knowledge on traffic rules, when their parents disobeyed such rules.

He stated that the move would reduce the rate of crashes and fatalities on the highways, if the youth imbibed safety measures.
