“Your contributions to road safety in Nigeria will never be forgotten,” he said.
The FRSC boss advised Nigerians to remain committed to tackling the challenges posed by traffic violations.
The FRSC spokesman said the crash involved a DAF articulated vehicle engaged in a speed violation, resulting in loss of control.
Mr Dauda Biu said that the corps operatives drafted to cover the elections were also mandated to clear obstructions from the roads.
He said this was to ensure that motorists would not pass the night on the highways when travelling for the yuletide.
The assistant corps marshal and corps public education officer, Bisi Kazeem, disclosed this on its X handle on Sunday.
Mr Biu stressed the need to have a crash-free anniversary.
He said 15 people, all male adults, were involved in the accident.
The bridge collapsed on Monday at 12.30 p.m., affecting motorists and commuters.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says road traffic fatalities reduced in the first half of 2023 by 15.5 per cent.
