Welcome to our website...

Many lives are lost daily in road traffic accidents in Nigeria, school pupils and college undergraduates that are the hopes of many parents have been killed prematurely. The list is endless and the pains are deeply unforgettable.  The socio economic costs of this avoidable waste are immense and priceless. Hopes of families have been shattered from the loss of their breadwinners. The pains of widowhood are always everlasting to many. Business empires have collapsed from the death of founder or leadership.

Current Situation

The  situation where practical tests are administered on learner drivers before they are issued drivers licenses are gone. People now obtain National Drivers’ Licenses without formal tests.   Drivers in Nigeria, with Lagos having the highest percentage of estimated 26.4 % of the national figure:

lack proper training / skill acquisition
lack adequate knowledge of traffic rules and regulations.
are Road Sign illiterates
lack adequate knowledge of the Vehicle (Vehicle Illiteracy) 
do not understand simple owner manual requirements for vehicle maintenance.











The resultant effect of the above are:

Road Traffic Crashes
Traffic Jams / Congestions
Road Rage
Regular Brake Down of Vehicles on the Highways
Environmental Pollution
Health Hazards etc

.
To tackle this issue, the government of Lagos State  under the leadership of
Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN)
, set up a  Drivers’ Institute with  centers  each in five selected  districts of the state  i.e. Ikorodu, Badagry, Ikeja, Lagos and Epe with the aim of:

retraining of all professional drivers in the State

standardizing the driving profession in the State.

registering  and creating a database for all professional drivers in the State

standardizing, registration and accreditation of private driving schools in the State

assisting private driving schools in curriculum development and Instructors training 

All drivers Operating In Lagos State for livelihood (as a profession) in companies, government and other establishments are by law compelled to pass through the Institute for re-certification and retraining once every  year.
.
