FRSC Boss Praises Eid Patrol Operatives
The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has commended officers and men deployed for the ongoing Eid el-Kabir Special Patrol Operations across the country for their dedication, professionalism, and outstanding performance.
The commendation followed reports from supervisory teams dispatched from the FRSC National Headquarters to monitor the nationwide special operations. According to the Corps Marshal, the commitment and gallantry displayed by personnel have played a major role in ensuring safer highways and smoother traffic flow during the festive period.
Shehu Mohammed expressed satisfaction with the general conduct and operational efficiency of the personnel, urging them to sustain the current momentum and remain focused throughout the duration of the special patrol exercise.
He noted that the successes recorded so far have been driven by the unwavering commitment of FRSC personnel and the cooperation of members of the motoring public. He therefore appealed to road users to continue supporting the Corps by obeying traffic regulations and adhering to all road safety advisories issued during the festive season.
Reviewing the progress of operations nationwide, the Corps Marshal expressed confidence in the ability of FRSC personnel to consolidate on the gains already achieved. However, he raised concerns over the persistence of dangerous traffic violations by some motorists, warning that such actions could undermine ongoing road safety efforts.
He specifically cautioned against speeding, dangerous overtaking, overloading, the use of mobile phones while driving, and other traffic offences, stressing that these remain major causes of road traffic crashes across the country.
The FRSC boss urged motorists to exercise patience, maintain discipline on the highways, and comply with established traffic regulations, emphasizing that road safety is a collective responsibility.
“The road does not forgive mistakes,” he warned.
Shehu Mohammed further reassured Nigerians of the Corps’ commitment to ensuring a safe and hitch-free post-Eid el-Kabir celebration through sustained enforcement, public enlightenment campaigns, effective traffic management, and prompt rescue services on highways nationwide.
The FRSC has continued to deploy personnel and operational assets across critical routes as part of measures aimed at reducing crashes and ensuring the safety of all road users during the festive season.
