Lagos To Unveil First Traffic Video On Motorists In Africa by Aderostock(m): 12:03am On Apr 13, 2013
Lagos State Government has concluded arrangements to unveil the first multi-lingual traffic video in Africa to ensure the safety of citizens on the highway.

The unveiling of the video by Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, is to take place in Lagos, on Wednesday next week.

Chief Executive Officer, Lagos State Drivers' Institute, Mr. Peter Oyedokun, said the video was designed to retrain drivers on driving skills, proper usage of the road and traffic signals.

Oyedokun spoke at the preview of the Defensive Driving Video in Lagos on Thursday.

He said, "This video would provide an avenue where drivers can learn driving skills, and how to drive correctly on the road.

"They would be retrained on proper use of the highway and the things expected of them while driving."

Oyedokun said Governor Babatunde Fashola directed that the video be produced as an indigenous tool, which could be translated into the five major languages in Nigeria.

He said, "His Excellency directed that we produce an indigenous video this time, instead of the usual Western type.

"He requested that the video should be translated into Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, English and Pidgin English. It is the first of its kind in Africa.

"It concentrates on preliminaries of driving, traffic, right of way, turning, space cushion, driving on the expressway and adverse conditions. It covers every aspect of driving in Lagos."

Oyedokun said LASDRI was expected to provide training for motorists in Lagos.

He said interactive class sessions, including medical eye tests, would hold yearly.

He said, "We do not train drivers on effect of non-compliance on the road, but on the right way to drive. That is why we have come up with this video."
