Naija Car Lovers, an online automotive blog, in collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps, (FRSC) Lagos State Sector Command and Automobile Touring Club of Nigeria (ATCN), an affiliate of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile), is organising a seminar on road usage titled; Young Adults Road Safety Seminar in Lagos as part of its contribution to the global action against road crashes.
The event, which is scheduled to hold at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), 13/15 Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos on October 12, 2017, is targeted at the youths and young adults (15-45 years old) who have been identified as the most active road users and also the most vulnerable to road incidents or mishaps. The organisers said since road crashes have been identified globally as a major threat to the lives and wellbeing of youths and young adults all over the world, especially in developing nations, these subsets of the population are being targeted for urgent actions needed to mitigate and forestall this ugly trend from gaining more traction.
