Lagos, Nigeria – The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and the Lagos State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) are working together to solve the problem of heavy-duty truck accidents in the area. The decision was made during a meeting between NPA Managing Director/Chief Executive Alhaji Mohammed Bello Kolo and Lagos State Sector Commander of the FRSC, Corps Commander Olusegun Ogungbemide.
