Nigeria offers to help set up road safety agency for Sierra Leone... Nigeria is prepared to assist the government of Sierra Leone to set up a road safety agency like Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Corps Marshal of the commission Osita Chidoka has said. Speaking when he paid a courtesy visit to the President of Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr Ernest Bai Koroma in Freetown, Chidoka said it was important to have a safe and accident-free road to protect lives of citizens. The road safety boss who is also the president of the West African Road Safety Organisation (WARSO) urged other African countries to emulate Nigeria in the establishment of a road safety commission. The Sierra Leonean President Koroma said it was only when the sub-regional roads are free and safe that trade and tourism could be boosted among member countries as envisaged by the ECOWAS Protocol on free movement of goods and persons within the sub-region. He appreciated the road safety campaign going on in the region saying our country is in full support of your road safety campaigns. And let me particularly thank Nigeria for its readiness to provide Sierra Leone with technical assistance that would enable us build a functional road safety agency like you have in the country.
