The Federal Road Safety Commission [FRSC] has concluded arrangements to sanitize all driving schools across the country.

To this end, it has warned the driving instructors to stop extorting the clients on behalf of the commission, saying any of them found wanting would be prosecuted.

The Corp Marshal of the FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi gave the warning yesterday while delivering a lecture on ‘’West African Road Safety Commission,- Enhancing Road Safety in West Africa’’ at a three-day international driving instructors conference which ended yesterday in Abuja. ‘’We need to sanitize our driving schools. Very soon, everybody will not be a driving school owner because it would soon be a case of survival of the fittest,’ he stated.

Oyeyemi who was represented by a Deputy-Corps Marshal in Charge of Training Department of the FRSC, Ademola Lawal also said that the commission was planning a stakeholders meeting for all instructors to iron out areas of conflicts.

‘’All these collaboration with some disgruntled elements among the rank and file of our officers to issue driver’s licence to unqualified clients will soon hit the rocks. As we speak, FRSC is ready to sack and is already sacking its officers who connive with instructors to do evil,’’ he said.

Boboye who said the commission was against the issuance of ‘’Road Safety Certificate’’ by the instructors directed all driving schools to remove the commission’s name from their charges.

‘’I am assuring you that between January and November 2016, the FRSC has sacked about 50 corps marshals illegally collaborating with your members to defraud the public. Many of you are not doing the right things especially, charging people while updating their profiles,’’ he alleged.

He further called on the instructors to stop using rickety vehicles in their training.

Presenting a paper on ‘’Effective Driving Instruction Techniques’’, the National President of the Association of Driving Instructors of Nigeria [ADIN], Jide Owatunise said driving instructor must be up to date and be able to compete favourably in this emerging profession in Nigeria by continually improving his personal and professional skills for effective driving instruction.
