The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Lagos sector command, is to commence an aggressive inspection of vehicles
and drivers to determine their road worthiness on Saturday, December 15. The exercise is aimed
at reducing carnage especially ahead of
Yuletide celebrations.
Lagos, state Sector Commander, Ezebong Akpabio, noted that road
safety is a shared responsibility because road trauma is an immensely
complex problem that can not be solved by FRSC alone.
According to Akpabio, who was represented by Deputy Corp Commander,
Adeoye Irelewuyi, Head of Operations, Lagos command, said men of the
FRSC would be stationed at every 10 kilometre for 16 hours between the
hours of 6 am to 10 pm daily to carry out the exercise and listed the
following routes as some of the roads where the exercise would be
massively covered Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ijebu Ore Expressway,
Apapa-Oshodi, Lagos Badagry Expressway among other.
To reduce carnage by 50 percent, all hands must be on deck in the interest of all.
He urged motorists to be safety consious always.
