The continuous campaign for development of better road safety attitudes can never be over-emphasized. The lack of will on the side of authorities will never deter the efforts of stake holders especially RSAAEI in underscoring the dangers associated with exposure of children to unnecessary road risks in the name of hawking and family economic empowerment. Our advocacy shall continue in the areas of getting the relevant institutions to pass necessary legislation to bring to an end the dehumanization of innocent children who ordinarily should be in their respective homes attending to their homework and studies.
Here in Lagos, it is no longer news that trucks and other articulated vehicles continuously ram into innocent bystanders, road side hawkers etc. While the relations of these unfortunate victims shower unending blame on the drivers of such vehicles, whose job will it be to educate the parents and guardians of these children hawking their wares right beside the tires of a
20 Ton truck? RSAAEI will continue to spread the message of safety for those who wish and wish not to listen. A word is enough for the wise!
