Dutse, June 15, 2024 (NAN) The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Jigawa Command, has deployed 430 personnel and nine vehicles, including four ambulances to ensure crash-free Eid-el-Kabir celebration in the state.
The FRCS Sector Commander in Jigawa, Mr Usman Ibrahim, made this known while announcing the commencement of a Special Salah Operations in Dutse on Saturday.
Ibrahim told newsmen that deployment of both personnel and vehicles was part of the command’s proactive measures to reduce road crashes across the state throughout the Salah celebration.
He explained that the objective of the special operations was to ensure significant reduction in the number of traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries.
“It is also to ensure prompt response to accident scenes to evacuate victims and provide the needed help among other things.
“The command will also carry out aggressive enforcement of traffic laws and regulations, including Mobile Courts to prosecute violators of traffic laws.
Ibrahim said that the FRSC would prosecute motorists for over-speeding, dangerous driving, wrongful overtaking, lane indiscipline, route violation, and road obstruction.
Other offences, he said, would include loading of trailers with passengers and illegal use of spy number plates.
He, therefore, called on drivers and other road users across the state to cooperate with the command towards a successful Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
While wishing residents an accident-free celebration, Ibrahim assured motorists of FRSC’s commitment to entrenching sanity on all major roads and highways in the state. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
