The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has urged security agencies across Nigeria to institutionalise regular professional training for their drivers to improve road safety, operational efficiency and emergency response.
Odogiyan said that beyond the routine military and paramilitary training received by personnel, security drivers required continuous professional training tailored to their specialised responsibilities.
Odogiyan noted that well-trained security drivers were essential to effective security operations, stressing that poor driving practices could undermine operational and response efforts.
He said that the training, with the theme: “Road Safety Management for Productive Security Improvement,” covered key areas including road safety management, causes and prevention of road traffic crashes, as well as executive protection.
According to him, security drivers are not above the law and must serve as role models by adhering to traffic rules and regulations.
