FRSC displays new technology to track traffic defaulters.
The Federal Road Safety Corps has reaffirmed its commitment to reduce the level of road accidents by 50 per cent in Nigeria by 2015.

He said, regarding the recent incidents of building collapse especially in Lagos, his office would adopt a similar technology which will tell in advance the condition of buildings so that the inhabitants can be evacuated before the collapse of the building.
He finally urged FRSC to embark on human capital development to ensure that this new technology is understood well.
