FRSC boss assures Nigerians of safety on roads

FRSC corps marshal Dauda Ali-Biu has felicitated the Christian faithful and assured them of safety on the road.
Mr Ali-Biu gave assurance in his Christmas message in which the Corps Marshal reiterated his earlier call for people to be guided against bad driving habits that could compromise the safety of road users.
Mr Ali-Biu cautioned travellers against the dangers of road travel in this period of increased human and vehicular traffic, according to as statement by the agency.
The FRSC boss stressed that people must show extra vigilance while using the road to overcome any form of carnage.
Mr Ali-Biu called on road users to support the ongoing road safety sensitisation programmes by the FRSC to address issues of poor attitude to road use.
He said such behaviour accounted for why Christmas and New Year became the most challenging to the campaigns for safer road environments in the country.
Mr Ali-Biu added that FRSC, as part of its annual end-of-year special patrol, had put adequate measures in place and mapped out strategies to address all the anticipated traffic challenges that could hinder the free movement of people and vehicles.
He also added that such measures would remain inadequate without cooperation from members of the public, particularly those who travelled on the roads.
He, therefore, warned people against offences like route violation, overloading, speeding, light signs violation and driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
