Easter: Ogun FRSC urges motorists to obey traffic rules to stem crashes

The Ogun Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has tasked motorists to obey traffic rules and regulations to stem crashes during the forthcoming Easter celebration.

Mr. Anthony Uga, the Sector Commander of FRSC in the state, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Ota, Ogun.

NAN reports that Christians will celebrate Easter across the country between March 29 and April 1.

Uga noted that the advice had become necessary for motorists to make Easter an accident-free festival.

“People should drive according to existing rules and regulations and don’t overspeed to prevent avoidable crashes.

“In addition, they should try to manage their speed by installing speed limit devices, which are now compulsory for all vehicles,” he said.

The sector commander said that speeding is the trust of FRSC 2024 Corps corporate goals as we embark on robust public enlightenment to drive the initiative.

Uga added that they would also embark on motorized patrols on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to stem accidents during the Easter festival.

He cautioned motorists, especially during this festive period, against dangerous driving and drunk driving to avoid unnecessary loss of life.

Uga implored motorists to make sure that their vehicles are in proper condition, change expired tires, and refrain from nighttime travel to get to their various destinations. (NAN)
