New Year: FRSC tasks Nigerians on tolerance, obedience to traffic regulations

The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has urged Nigerians to exhibit tolerance while driving and imbibe traffic rules and regulations.

The Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali-Biu, said this in a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer, CPEO, Deputy Corps Marshal, DCM, Bisi Kazeem on Sunday in Abuja.

Ali-Biu said the call became necessary in view of the improved road rehabilitations and constructions going on across the country under the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

He tasked members of the public to sustain the tempo by ensuring strict observance of all traffic rules and regulations as they drive into the new year.

The FRSC boss expressed gratitude to God for the grace of protection and guidance given to the nation in the face of the various safety and security challenges experienced in the outgoing year.

He asked for sustained consciousness by people to overcome the notable challenges in the new year.

Ali-Biu said he was highly pleased with the conduct of most drivers during the recent Christmas celebration, saying such accounted for the minimal rate of road traffic crashes and fatalities during the period.

According to him, if such good habits were not sustained in the new year, there could be a resurgence of crash situations, which could undermine the gains made from the special patrol.
