Project.
Making our highways user friendly is our top priority.
This project is being undertaken by ARC NIGERIA and our Corporate Partners in order to reduce the anxieties and stress on our highways. This will be placed on all major highways across the country. Join us in the quest of making our roads and highways user friendly.
Other projects currently being carried include:
-
We have initiated a reform package for the VIO in the States that will make the Units functional and professionally equipped with the modern tools to inspect vehicles, train drivers, set up standards in the Spare parts and motor dealers sector in accordance with the National Road Traffic Regulations of 1997.
-
We have embarked on a project to erect mileage indicators on Federal Highways and we are awaiting permission from the Federal Ministry of Works.
-
We have carried out a comprehensive investigation into the quality of fuel that we use in Nigeria and found out that our regular unleaded fuel is not suitable for 70% of the old and new vehicles plying our roads.
-
We have identified one of the major causes of road accidents in the country which was erroneously attributed to the use of substandard and old tyres and discovered that motorists are ignorant of the tyres that they are supposed to fit on their vehicles.
-
We have also carried out an investigation to find out the causes of Automatic transmission systems failure and discovered that most motorists still use ATF Fluids that are not meant for their vehicles and in the process destroys the smooth performance of the gear train of their vehicles.
-
We are also supporting the Lagos State School Traffic Advocacy programme by sourcing for funds from Corporate Organisations to equip all school children in the State and all over the country with reflective vests to be worn by the students on their way to and from school. We have already supplied the vests to the State Government and from which Diamond Bank branded some for the children during the Children’s National day in May 2009 at the Police College, Ikeja.
-
We recently organised a tyre training course for officers of the Federal Road Safety Commission and the Directorate of Road Traffic Services in Abuja. December 2009.
