In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Mr. Ezekiel SonAllah, Sector Commander of the Federal Reserve Bank of Nigeria, revealed this.
SonAllah clarified that in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents over the holiday season, 588 ordinary and 556 special marshals had been deployed.
The sector commander claims that in order to minimize traffic accidents, the FRSC is closely collaborating with the commercial sector via a public-private partnership to guarantee prompt recovery of any vehicles that might break down on the roadways.
The corps has sent its employees to places where accidents are likely to occur, he continued.
He informed NAN that in order to guarantee that there are no crashes reported during the time under consideration, the command is closely coordinating with other security organizations and transportation unions.
Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, SonAllah urged motorists and the general public to abide by traffic laws and regulations, stressing that "only the living can celebrate."
The installation of speed limiters on cars is required for business drivers.Since life is unique, we will arrest any commercial driver who is observed operating a vehicle without a speed limiter installed.
Therefore, I humbly ask everyone who uses the roads to always drive with caution. After all, everyone has a stake in road safety. To make sure there are no accidents on our highways, we need all hands on deck," he stated.
