Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Celebrity Special Marshals, made up of top entertainment personalities and media practitioners, have concluded plans to begin a nationwide awareness campaign towards ensuring safe driving during the yuletide season.
According to the group’s national co-ordinator Chris Nwandu, the initiative is aimed at using the star power and various platforms of members to engage Nigerians with a view to creating awareness as well as helping to change bad habits of motorists that have the tendency of endangering the lives of other road users.
He noted that the decision to embark on the initiative was taken at a meeting held shortly before the November edition of the group’s monthly road safety patrol and awareness programme.
Explaining further, Lagos chapter head Segun Arinze said the promotional materials being produced will cover social media, radio and television.
He called on media organisations and other celebrities to support the noble objective which he believes will help to reduce the carnage on our roads during this festive season
Arinze also revealed that the group has opened the @CSMFRSC handles on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to disseminate information as well as allow members of the public send feedbacks.
