Director-General of the State Security Services, Mr. Ekpeyong Itah, has described the new number plate project as a catalyst in the collective push to combat terrorism and other national security challenges facing the country.
Speaking during an advocacy visit by Wolrd Bank road safety consultants, Itah expressed his delight with the World Bank initiative of integrating safety components on road rehabilitation and construction in Nigeria as it would add value to traffic enforcement and proper identification of vehicle owners, across the country.
The Director-General said these innovations had made Nigeria an investment destination which would no doubt provide the potentials for socio-economic development.
Earlier in his presentation, the FRSC Corps Marshal and Chief Executive, Osita Chidoka said the World Bank consultants were in Nigeria for a review of the FRSC enforcement capacity, in line with the World Bank Safe corridor project which seeks to infuse road safety components into road construction and rehabilitation in Nigeria.
Also speaking, the World Bank Consultant, Minze Beuving, expressed his delight at the level of data collation and management by the FRSC and road infrastructure in the FCT but urged the Federal Government to re-double efforts in the area of traffic enforcement bordering on speed limit and use of safety helmet.
