By Fakeye Aderonke
In line with its commitment to staff development and workplace safety, the Lagos State Printing Corporation (LSPC), in collaboration with the Lagos State Drivers Institute (LASDRI), has commenced a 2-Day Drivers Training Program themed “Mandatory, Structural and Rehabilitation Training Program.”
The training, which runs from Thursday 28th to Friday 29th August, 2025 at the LSPC Conference Room, is designed to retool, retrain and reinforce best practices among drivers, equipping them with enhanced knowledge of road safety regulations, modern driving techniques, and responsible road use culture.
Speaking at the opening of the program, the General Manager of LSPC, Hon. Dr. Kolawole Peregrino, emphasized that the Corporation under his leadership has consistently prioritized human capacity development across all cadres of staff.
He noted that while previous sessions have focused on other categories of personnel within the Corporation, this particular program reflects management’s dedication to ensuring that the driver cadre is not left behind in the holistic training agenda.
The General Manager further stressed that the safety of staff, official vehicles, and the general public remain a top priority for the Corporation, hence the deliberate collaboration with LASDRI, the statutory body saddled with the responsibility of professional driver training in Lagos State.
The intensive training programme features comprehensive, up-to-date sessions on Lagos State traffic rules and regulations, including road signs and their meanings, vehicle signals, essential vehicle maintenance procedures, Lagos State traffic laws, and consequences for non-compliance. The programme also includes eye examinations to assess driver focus and visual acuity. Furthermore, practical sessions will focus on ensuring the road-worthiness of the Corporation’s vehicle fleet.
Participants are expected to undergo modules on safety consciousness, defensive driving, stress management, first aid response, and accident prevention, among other practical sessions. At the end of the training, certificates will be issued to drivers after the program.
During the closing ceremony, the representative from Lagos State Drivers Institute, Mr. Opeyemi Adebuleyi, Snr. Law Enforcement appreciated the General Manager and management staff of LSPC for organizing the training for drivers. He encouraged that the initiative be sustained and held at least twice every year, while urging the drivers to adhere strictly to all they have been taught.
The Corporation Secretary, Ms. Anike Fashola, thanked the LASDRI team, expressing hope that the training would be impactful and help strengthen the drivers’ sense of responsibility.
Also speaking, the Head Driver of LSPC, Mr. Adeoye, expressed gratitude to the General Manager and the entire management team for giving the drivers the opportunity to benefit from the exercise.
This initiative once again underscores the visionary leadership of the General Manager, whose proactive approach has ensured that LSPC staff across different levels are empowered with the requisite skills to deliver optimally in their duties.
