A non-governmental organization GreenLight Initiative focused on improving road safety in Nigeria, has urged the Federal Government to implement a 30-kilometer speed limit on Nigerian roads and take measures to promote sustainable transportation systems.
The plea from the GreenLight Initiative is in line with the theme of the 7th United Nations Global Road Safety Week, which highlights the importance of sustainable transport and encourages governments to support walking, cycling, and public transportation. Mr. Obi emphasized the global significance of the UN Global Road Safety Week and highlighted the alarming statistics of road crashes, stating that over 1.35 million people are killed on the world’s roads each year. He also acknowledged that road crashes are a leading cause of death for young people between the ages of five and 29, and Nigeria faces its fair share of road safety challenges.
Assistant Corps Commander Imrana Lamba Ibrahim of the Federal Road Safety Commission expressed his appreciation for the visit and promised further partnership with the GreenLight Initiative.
