According to the FRSC, the initiative aims to:Educate the public and prospective drivers about approved driving schools,discourage the use of unregistered and unqualified training centers, curb the issuance of fake or compromised training certificates, and promote accountability and professionalism in driver education.

The command emphasized that the move is part of a broader effort to uphold the standards of the Driving School Standardization Programme (DSSP) and reduce road traffic crashes through better driver training.

“This initiative reinforces our commitment to safer roads and a more credible licensing process,” said RC Margaret B. Onabe, Sector Public Education Officer of the Anambra State Command.

The Corps believes that by elevating the standards of driving education, it can foster a culture of responsible driving and significantly reduce the risks of accidents on Nigerian roads.
