The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has called for the establishment of Schools for Transportation Studies in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

FRSC Sector Commander in Kwara, Fredrick Ogidan, appealed while inaugurating The Special Marshal Unit of the Kwara State University (KWASU) in Malete.

Mr Ogidan, who Oby Ndulue represented, said this would go a long way in instituting and promoting the right driving culture amongst Nigerian motorists.

The sector commander said the solution to some of the challenges of auto crashes witnessed on Nigerian roads could be solved with the correct driving culture instituted in all drivers.

He charged the new special marshals to be diligent, good ambassadors of the institution and obey all rules and regulations.

Mr Ogidan also urged the marshals to be fair, firm, friendly and take the organisation’s ethics seriously.

The KWASU Vice-Chancellor, Mustapha Akanbi, also urged the special marshals to be good ambassadors of the institution and work towards achieving the goals and objectives of the unit.
