Speaking at the just concluded driver’s forum organized by the automotive dealership inside the conglomerate’s Training Room corporate headquarters in Lagos, Dr Femi Eguakhide, the group deputy managing director of R.T. Briscoe Nigeria Plc stated that, the one day drivers’ refresher engagement was organized to engage and enlighten participants further on modern driving habits and the essentials of taking proper care of vehicles under their custody.
According to him, “We are doing this as a value added service to our fleet customers to continue to refresh the drivers on modern driving habits and vehicle care which supports asset integrity and preservation for all our customers”.
Essentially, the drivers forum was specifically designed to create awareness on the importance of routine maintenance, benefits of genuine spare parts, engine oil, modern vehicle features and it’s use, vehicle safety features, vehicle system control and other basic attention to details.
According to the deputy managing director, the event was strategically timed to re-inforce the conglomerate’s brand presence in Nigeria’s increasingly competitive automotive industry.
The Drivers’ Forum was attended by business unit heads as well as drivers under the company’s pay roll and external drivers, including representatives from other fleet-owning organizations.
The event provided very strong value proposition to R.T. Briscoe (Nigeria) Plc as a publicly quoted company by reinforcing its commitment to safety, operational excellence, and stakeholder engagement within the transport and logistics ecosystem.
