LASDRI COMMENCES CBT FOR DRIVERS’ RECERTIFICATION
In a move towards restoring the confidence of the motoring public in the service platform of Lagos State Driver’s Institute, the institute has introduced a Computer-Based Test (CBT) into their drivers’ recertification exercise.
General Manager, Lagos State Driver’s Institute (LASDRI), Mrs Tiamiyu Afusat stated this while featuring on a Radio Lagos Magazine Programme “Awaye” on Wednesday. She explained that the initiative ensures conformity with globally acceptable standards on driver training and the urgent need to tackle high levels of road traffic crashes occasioned by human error.
Tiamiyu said the introduction of CBT is also to complement existing efforts of the institute towards enhancing the standardisation of the driving profession which is expected to translate into producing a better crop of drivers with a great deal of knowledge of safe road use.
She emphasised that in consonance with the THEMES Plus Development Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu led administration, the Institute will continue to implement policies that will lead to reducing crashes on Lagos roads to the minimum, noting that if the crop of drivers plying on our roads are properly trained, then more than 70 per cent of fatalities on the road could have been mitigated.
Tiamiyu urged all the Institute’s Training Centres and Annexes across the State to expedite action by ensuring absolute compliance, which is key to this life-saving and skills-driven programme designed to improve the safety awareness of professional drivers on Lagos road.
