The global spotlight is on road safety as the 4th Inter-Ministerial Conference on Road Safety unfolds in Marrakech, Morocco,
The interministerial meeting with the theme “Commit to Life,” the event has drawn thousands of delegates from across the world, including key stakeholders from Africa.
Leading Nigeria’s delegation is the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, who is actively engaging in high-level discussions to shape the future of road safety.
Mohammed participated in a strategic meeting organized by the World Bank, bringing together Global Heads of Road Safety Agencies to discuss innovative solutions for reducing road fatalities.
Additionally, he was present at the opening session of the African Ministers of Transport meeting, where regional policies on road safety were deliberated.
A major highlight of the conference was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) and the West African Road Safety Organization (WARSO). The agreement aims to enhance the safety ratings of roads across West Africa, reinforcing the region’s commitment to reducing accidents and saving lives.
Also attending this landmark event is Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, President of the Court of Appeal and a passionate advocate for road safety.
Through her NGO, Kwapda’as Road Safety Demand (KRSD), she continues to champion initiatives that promote safer roads in Nigeria and beyond.
The 4th Inter-Ministerial Conference on Road Safety stands as a crucial platform for policymakers, experts, and stakeholders to collaborate on strategies to make roads safer globally.
With Nigeria actively contributing to these discussions, the commitment to life and safety remains stronger than ever.
