The Lagos State Drivers’ Institute has commenced the phased training of about 300 truck drivers registered as members under the Association of Maritime Truck Owners (AMATO) across the State as one of the measures to improve sanity on Lagos roads.

The General Manager of the institute, Mrs. Afusat Tiamiyu urged the drivers to view the programme as an opportunity presented by the Lagos State Government to update and re-sharpen their driving skills, and to also learn innovative ways of driving their trucks, especially when plying busy roads.

She however emphasised the importance of ensuring proper switch locking of the containers on trucks as well as regular maintenance of the vehicles for optimum performance.
