The FRSC boss stressed the importance of effective road transport system to the economy of the nation.
FRSC has announced a fresh traffic diversion on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway due to the ongoing construction on the highway.
He said that with the level of exposure of people in the state, it was bewildering that motorists refused to collect their processed and valid driver’s licence.
The FRSC spokesman warned civilians who normally conspire with FRSC teams in such nefarious and unpatriotic acts to desist henceforth or be ready to face the wrath of the law when apprehended.
The FRSC boss said the behaviour of the Egbeda Unit Command patrol team, as captured on camera, was a complete contravention of the FRSC standard operating procedure.
FRSC revealed that 1.3 million people were killed, and as many as 50 million people get injured each year globally.
“The command is organising a special patrol to clamp down on vehicles with excessive smoke emission and mechanical deficiency,” said the sector commander.
The corps spokesperson, Bisi Kazeem, stated in Abuja on Saturday that the opinion was baseless, unfounded and did not reflect the position of the FRSC.
