The federal government has stated that it will collaborate with Sierra Leone in its efforts to ensure road safety.
This was stated by the secretary to the government of federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha on Friday during a courtesy visit by the Sierra Leone Road Safety Authority (SLRSA) to Abuja.

He added that the federal government would be happy to train the officers of SLRSA in managing road traffic in their country.
“The federal government is willing to assist and support you in achieving your desired goals,” he said.
