The Nasarawa State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a stern warning to proprietors of driving schools across the state’s 13 Local Government Areas against engaging in sharp practices.
During a capacity-building workshop for proprietors and instructors of driving schools in Lafia on Thursday, the state’s Sector Commander, Lucia Samuel-Mhii, emphasized the importance of strict adherence to proper training protocols. She noted that this exercise followed a directive from the FRSC Headquarters in Abuja, mandating training for driving school owners nationwide.
Samuel-Mhii stressed that driving school operators must ensure applicants complete their full training before being allowed to take tests and obtain driving licenses. She warned against uploading applicants’ names into the system by proxy, insisting that all procedures must be followed correctly to prevent an increase in highway crashes.
“Follow the right channel because compromising the process will produce negative results and increase crashes on the highways,” Samuel-Mhii cautioned.
