As a fallout of road crashes in Nigeria resulting from tyre blow-outs, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is organising a stakeholders' forum on tyres where issues relating with the use and safety of tyres will be discussed.
The FRSC' Head of Media Relations and Strategy, Bisi Kazeem, in a statement Wednesday said that the summit is aimed at re-educating Nigerians on the general knowledge of tyres, types of tyres, how to care for tyres, as well as useful tips in the case of a blow out or tyre burst.
According to him, issues such as standards, important tyre markings for the different types of tyres, sizes, lifespan from date of manufacture to expiry date, tyre pressure, storage, and other essential safety issues will be addressed such that Nigerians will understand that tyre is a very important component of a vehicle.
He said the Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi will also flag off a special National Campaign on tyres which will involve free safety checks on tyres, as well as consulting on safe use of tyres.
The summit which is scheduled to hold on 9th May, 2016 at Yar'Adua Centre, Abuja, has the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Engr Babachir David Lawal as Special Guest of Honour, while the Director-General, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Dr Paul Angya will present the lead paper
