ROSOWA takes road safety sensitisation campaign to Ogun motor park

As part of sustained efforts to promote road safety consciousness and reduce road traffic crashes, the Road Safety Officers’ Wives Association, ROSOWA, in Ogun State, on Saturday, conducted a road safety sensitisation at Kuto Motor Park, Abeokuta.

The programme was led by the wife of the Ogun Sector Commander and Chairperson of ROSOWA, Mrs Morenikeji Ogunjobi.

Addressing motorists, commercial drivers, passengers, and other road users during the exercise, she emphasised the importance of compliance with traffic regulations and responsible road use. 

Mrs Ogunjobi noted that many road traffic crashes are preventable when road users adhere strictly to established safety standards.

The sensitisation focused on key road safety concerns, including speeding, dangerous driving, overloading, use of mobile phones while driving, driving under the influence of alcohol, and the importance of seat belt use.

 Participants were also enlightened on the need for regular vehicle maintenance and strict observance of traffic signs and regulations.

Members of ROSOWA engaged participants through interactive discussions and public enlightenment sessions aimed at enhancing awareness and encouraging safer road use practices.

They also urged road users to cultivate patience, discipline, tolerance, and courtesy while using the roads.

Mrs Ogunjobi reiterated the commitment of ROSOWA to supporting the Federal Road Safety Corps in its public enlightenment campaigns and advocacy programmes geared towards saving lives and preventing road crashes.
