The Beer Sectoral Group (BSG) of the Manufacturing Association of Nigeria (MAN) has collaborated with the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) to promote awareness on the dangers of drinking alcohol while driving among individuals and commercial or public transport drivers.

The 2022 BSG “Don’t Drink and Drive Campaign” was launched in Lagos recently by BSG as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) and efforts to complement the work of the FRSC in attaining the safety of all road users.

Speaking at the event, Baker Magunda, chairman of BSG and managing director of Guinness Nigeria Plc, said the goal of the campaign is to support the FRSC on its objective of achieving a safe monitoring environment in Nigera.

“FRSC, as a key partner in the programme, will conduct the rallies in accordance with the intervention’s fundamental components,” acting FRSC Corp Marshall Dauda Biu said in his address.

“This synergy has been effective to a good extent, and we appreciate BSG’s efforts in supporting and prioritising our search for Nigerians’ safety.” The availability of breathalysers will go a long way toward reducing drunk driving on our roadways,” he said.
