The Commission said the workshop was aimed at sensitising members of the taskforce on the requirements of the law with respect to compulsory insurances and the enforcement modalities to be adopted.
NAICOM said that the members of the taskforce comprised of representatives from the Nigeria Police Force, the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC), the Federal Fire Service, FCT Fire Service and Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) in the territory.
