The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, today extended his on-the-spot assessment to the Abuja–Kaduna Highway to ease traffic flow, as vehicular movement increases ahead of the forthcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The Corps Marshal’s on-the-spot traffic assessment was part of the end-of-year nationwide monitoring of highways, reports The Nation.
Mohammed personally monitored traffic on the Abuja–Lokoja highway yesterday, leading to the immediate deployment of additional personnel to clear congestion and restore free flow.
According to a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, the Corps Marshal, while in Kaduna, personally oversaw traffic operations, ensuring strict compliance with traffic regulations, as “enforcement teams intensified surveillance across major routes, leading to the apprehension of several overloaded vehicles and other traffic violators.”
The statement noted that the Corps Marshal’s personal monitoring of traffic along the Abuja–Lokoja and Abuja–Kaduna highways underscored his hands-on leadership and zero-tolerance stance against traffic infractions, especially during the festive travel season.
“The Corps Marshal strongly advised motorists to obey traffic rules, avoid overloading, and cooperate with officers on duty, as sustained compliance remains critical to reducing crashes, saving lives, and guaranteeing safer highways nationwide,” the statement said.
