Dutse, Oct. 20, 2016 (NAN) The Jigawa Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said it had inspected 1,630 commercial vehicles for compliance with the installation of the Speed Limiting Device.
The corps’ Sector Commander in the state, Mr Angus Ibezim, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Dutse.
NAN reports that FRSC began the advisory enforcement of the installation of the device on commercial vehicles on Oct. 1.
Ibezim, however, said the level of compliance among commercial drivers across the state was not encouraging.
He, therefore, said that the corps would collaborate with various transport unions and other relevant stakeholders , including religious leaders and traditional rulers to ensure compliance.
“Already we are in talks with NURTW, NARTO on this issue and I am sure these unions will make their members to comply.
“We are also on advocacy visit to all the five Emirate Councils in the state in order to collaborate with our royal fathers in achieving this.
According to him, the corps is also visiting Mosques, Churches, markets and other public places to mobilise people to comply with the installation of the device. (NAN)
