The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi, has charged operatives of the Corps to eschew any form of compromise and carryout with all sense of responsibility and vigour the presidential directives on partial easing of lockdown effective from Monday, May 4, 2020.
In a statement signed by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisis Kazeem, the Corps Marshal gave the charge to the operatives in order to keep them on high alert regarding the imperatives of implementing to satisfaction the presidential directives with particular emphasis on the restriction on interstate travels, physical distancing amongst vehicle occupants, compulsory use of protective face masks and provision of temperature check devices, sanitizers, and hand washing points in motor parks and terminals.

Oyeyemi also ordered Commanding Officers to ensure that only vehicles conveying goods such as agro and petroleum products, medical supplies, relief and construction materials as well as essential services as directed by Mr President, are allowed to travel across states.
He warned that on no account should taxis conveying more than three passengers (driver and two persons) be allowed passage on any route.
The Corps Marshal also ordered the personnel to ensure that defaulters are brought to book through the instrumentalities of already existing mobile court operations constituted for the lockdown enforcement.
