The Chairman of Nigerian Auto Journalists Association (NAJA), Mr. Frank Kintum, has said that the full involvement of Ford Motor Corporation Sub-Saharan Africa in NAJA training programme really attests to the fact that the organisation is committed to promoting safe driving in not just Africa but worldwide.
He disclosed this while delivering his opening speech at the maiden edition of NAJA Annual Training Workshop which held last weekend in Lagos.
According to Kintum, ” The full involvement of Ford Motor Corporation, Sub- Sahara Africa in our training programme this year attests to the fact that Ford is committed to promoting safe driving in not just Africa but worldwide.
‘It may interest you to know that Ford sent driving experts all the way from South Africa and Dubai to participate in this year’s training,” saying ”other auto companies should emulate Ford spirit to sponsor subsequent edition.”
The NAJA chairman also disclosed that the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has over the years been unrelenting in ensuring safer roads. Saluting the effort of the Corps, he urged FRSC to do more to reduce the number of road traffic crashes and deaths on Nigerian roads, stressing that drivers and other road transport stakeholders must equally play their part in promoting safe driving.
He said:” The need to keep abreast with the latest happenings in the auto industry as well as improve our knowledge of automotive terminologies gave birth to the Annual Training Workshop.” The training, which he said will be held every year, is aimed at promoting effective reportage of the Nigerian automotive industry, equipping members with update knowledge about developments in automotive industry, upgrading standard of reporting the nation’s auto industry and enriching motoring editorial content of Nigerian media houses.
