The House of Representatives and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) have commended Dangote Coal Mines Limited for supporting the government by adding values to the live of Nigerians at the grassroots level through its multimillion-naira corporate social responsibility schemes in its host community.

They also applauded the company for adopting innovations that have positively impacted the rate of road crashes across the country.

Also speaking, a representative of the FRSC, Deputy Corps Marshal Kayode Fanola, commended Dangote Group for introducing measures that have helped reduce the rate of road accidents in the country.
