Yuletide: FRSC boss leads traffic monitoring

The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Malam Shehu Mohammed, is leading the end-of-year monitoring exercise to assess traffic situations in some parts of the North Central and Eastern regions.
Addressing the press on Sunday along the Lokoja-Abaji highway in Abuja, Mohammed said that the exercise was aimed at ensuring a safe motoring environment for commuters and travelers during the yuletide season.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the special patrol operations are targeted at ensuring zero fatalities and injuries during the end of the year travels.
NAN reports that the Corps Marshal will be on a strategic monitoring of traffic situation on the highways, specifically on the Abuja -Lokoja-Okene-Agbor-Asaba-Onitsha passageways due to the high vehicular movement on that route.
The FRSC boss emphasised the importance of obeying road traffic rules and regulations, urging drivers to exercise caution and avoid reckless driving.
He said that the exercise was a yearly tradition, aimed at encouraging personnel and ensuring a safer motoring environment.
“This is a special time for yuletide where all personnel of FRSC are out. You can see that I am here with some of our personnel and the entire management is here.
“The idea is for us to monitor and supervise this year’s operations, to create a safe motoring environment for people, for commuters and travelers to have a safe mobility to their destination.
“This is done every year and the entire management is out to encourage our staff to make sure that our mandate of keeping the road safe for all is strictly adhered to.”
