FRSC urges motorists to obey traffic rules during Easter
The Federal Road Safety Corps has advised motorists to obey traffic rules and regulations in order to stay alive during the Easter celebration.
Memee Timothy, the Ifo unit commander of FRSC, gave the advice on Tuesday in Ota, Ogun.
“Motorists should refrain from speeding, wrongful overtaking and driving against traffic that could lead to an unnecessary loss of lives during Easter.
“They should also stop overloading and drunk driving to minimise road crashes,” Mr Timothy said.
He disclosed that FRSC personnel would be deployed to monitor and control traffic and respond to emergencies involving accidents and broken-down vehicles during the celebration.
“Our men will also be at strategic places and road construction areas to arrest those with overloading and driving without a driver’s licence.
“In addition, we are appealing to motorists to cooperate with FRSC personnel and other sister agencies to make Easter a hitch-free festival,” he said.
Mr Timothy reiterated the FRSC’s commitment to ensuring that motorists and other road users arrive at their various destinations safely.
