The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has deployed over 28,000 Corps’ operatives (Regular and Special Marshals) to effectively cover 51 Corridors during the Eid-El- Fitr special patrol.
A statement signed by the Corps Public Relations Officer, Jonas Agwu, said the directive is in view of the envisioned increase in vehicular movement and the need to make the highways safe by eliminating all variables that propel road traffic crashes, fatalities and injuries on the nation’s highways.
It notes that the Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu has also called on the motoring public to adhere to the lessons of Ramadan and the teachings of the Prophet by imbibing patience, avoiding recklessness, ensuring that they drive within specified legal speed limits on all roads, as well as desist from overloading of vehicles and use of trailers to convey passengers.
Corps Marshal Dauda Ali Biu therefore advised all motorists to be patient on the road and ensure that they operate within the ambit of the law as the Corps is out to ensure compliance of established traffic laws.
He has wished all travellers safe trip to their destinations as he felicitates with Muslim faithful across the nation on the event of the Eid-el-fitr festivities.
