Two recipients, at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), were awarded the sum N25, 000 each. The first recipient was at the examination stage, while the other was on the verge of being discharged. Speaking on the gesture, Chi-Nwaoha said the project was aimed at bringing relief to pains and agony of people involved in Road Traffic Crashes (RTC). xIn his words: “When there is a road traffic crash, the burden is disproportionately borne by pedestrians, motorcyclists and motorists, in particular those living in developing countries. While presenting the cheque to one of the beneficiaries, Ikeja Unit Commander Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Emma Fekoya, said the Corp has the mandate to eradicate RTCs and create a safe motoring environment.
