By: Nkechi Isa
The FCT Emergency Management Department (FEMD) has pledged to strengthen the existing collaboration with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to enhance safety on our roads.
The Ag Director General of FEMD, Engr Abdulrahman Mohammed,,, made the pledge when he received members of the Central Business District of the FRSC, led by its unit commander, Assistant Corps Commander Zayanu Ibrahim in Abuja.
Engr. Abdulrahman noted that, as emergency responders,,, both agencies must work together to save lives.
In his words,” As responders, we must collaborate; there should be no rivalry. You can demand capacity from us because we have access to our statutory stakeholders. We must also leverage the emergency ambulance service established by the Federal Government”
Describing the FRSC as partners in progress, the FEMD Boss charged the Search and Rescue Team to consolidate the existing relationship with the FRSC.
Earlier, Assistant Corps Commander Zayanu Ibrahim informed that FEMD was strategic in road safety management
” We carry out the same duties, but we enforce; you don’t enforce. I see both agencies as one because we do similar duties of ensuring the safety of our people.
He expressed the hope that both agencies would further strengthen the already existing collaboration.
Zayanu Ibrahim was recently deployed to the Central Business District, following his promotion.
