FRSC SET TO DEPLOY  ACCIDENT AND CRIME INVESTIGATION MACHINES

In line with its renewed determination to ensure sanity on the nation’s highways, the Federal Road Safety Corps has concluded plans to introduce some forensic laser scanning  and crash investigation machines across the country to enhance the process of identification of  recalcitrant drivers and investigation of road traffic crashes.

Making this disclosure during the public demonstration of high laser forensic speed, high density scanning and collision scene investigation machines  in Abuja, the FRSC Corps Marshal and Chief Executive, Osita Chidoka said that one of the strategic goals of the Corps is to create safer roads that will ultimately help in securing  Nigerians from the menace of road crashes, adding that this initiative will provide a strong pedastal in the quest to make Nigerian roads  among the 20 safest  roads  by 2020.

The Corps Marshal  assured that in the face of a complicated society, the FRSC can only achieve set goals through the engagement of evidence-based information gathering and advanced technology to raise the bar in road safety management and traffic administration in Nigeria.

Commenting on the initiative, the Surveyor General of the Federation, Prof Peter Nwilo commended the FRSC for embracing this new technology, adding that with the recent spate of collapsed building in the country especially Lagos, his office will adopt a similar strategy which will detect in advance, the condition of buildings for proactive actions which will save its inhabitants from avoidable tragedies.
