FRSC advises Nigerian motorists on safe driving
FRSC’s corps marshal Shehu Mohammed has called on motorists to adhere strictly to road traffic rules and regulations to make the Christmas celebration peaceful and hitch-free.
Mr Mohammed, who made the call in his Christmas message on Wednesday in Abuja, restated his earlier commitment to creating a safer road environment.
“I appeal to Nigerians to reflect on this period of heightened human and vehicular movements to avoid any road mishaps that could undermine the celebration,” he said.
He also tasked personnel to ensure a free flow of traffic and zero-death Christmas and New Year celebrations, adding that the entire workforce and logistics have been mobilised to all the identified black spots and would remain there until January 15, 2025.
He said this was to ensure that all those who travelled home for Christmas and New Year returned safely. He also called on Nigerians to join the FRSC in the ongoing campaign for a safer road environment.
He further urged Christians to offer special prayers at their churches as they celebrate the birth of Christ. He urged road users to tune into the FRSC National Traffic Radio, 107.1 FM, for traffic alerts and updates.
“In cases of emergency, I urge Nigerians to dial the FRSC Emergency number: 122 as the call centre will remain open throughout the festive period and beyond to attend to all distress calls,” he said.
