The Lagos State Government, in conjunction with Lagos Traffic Radio 96.1FM, on Friday launched an exercise to check incidents of drink-driving and resultant fatalities, especially during end of year festivities. Mrs Kofoworola Awobamise, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Strategy, flagged off a road show at the Lagos Traffic Radio office complex in Ikeja, as part of the exercise. It is a very good initiative and we must say kudos, first to the governor, to have allowed this to happen at the Traffic Radio. According to him, drink driving is being emphasised because it has always been the main cause of accidents at this time of the year. Adagun said that the event was focused particularly on motor parks, as the drivers were most vulnerable to road accidents.
