Miss Hassana Ozohu-Salisu, the 2024 Miss Nollywood International Beauty Pageant is to embark on patching 64, 000 potholes in the 36 states of the federation.
Ozohu-Salihu disclosed this during an interaction with members of the correspondents’ chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Kogi Chapter, in Lokoja on Monday.
‘’The patching project is one of my pet projects, aimed at saving lives.
‘’As a beauty queen, I am worried and concerned over the number of accidents and lives lost due to potholes on roads across the country.
“This is why Nollywood International, in conjunction with the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), is embarking on filling up 64,000 potholes across our roads,” she said.
Ozohu-Salihu, who is the 11th Miss Nollywood International, also said that she was collaborating with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC)
“The corps is to ensure that drivers don’t drink and drive in line with our “Operation Don’t Drink and Drive Programme.”
According to her, the two projects were mainly designed to help save lives and properties of travellers on the roads across the nation.
She said another project, ‘No to Sex for Marks Syndrome,’ would be introduced in tertiary institutions.
She said, “We are meeting with vice chancellors and lecturers to ensure that the syndrome is eradicated to enable our young girls walk with their shoulders high and fulfil their God given destinies.’’ (NAN)
