FRSC Deploys 18,000 Personnel, 918 Vehicles For Eid-el-kabir by msmon(m): 5:45am On Oct 03, 2014 |
dailyindependentnig.com/2014/10/frsc-deploys-18000-personnel-918-vehicles-eid-el-kabir/ By Chibuzor Emejor / Correspondent, Abuja Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has deployed 18,000 personnel, including Regular and Special Marshals, 800 patrol vehicles, 60 motor bikes, 52 ambulances and six heavy duty tow trucks along critical corridors of the highways as part of plans for a nationwide special patrol slated for September 30- October 12, 2014 with the theme, ‘Operation Eid-El-Kabir’. A statement on Thursday by the Corps Public Education Officer, Stella Uchegbu, said this exercise which is in line with the Corps’ continued drive to achieve its 2014 strategic goals of reducing road traffic crashes by 15 per cent and fatalities by 25 per cent especially during the festive season, has also been designed in view of expected high vehicular movement. The campaign was also designed to address the possible tendencies for road traffic regulations violations by motorists during this period. According to the FRSC, the special patrol which is aimed at addressing the spate of avoidable road crashes usually associated with the festive season is an all inclusive exercise which will witness intensive patrols, prompt rescue services, strict enforcement of traffic rules and robust public enlightenment campaigns across the country. Objectives of this special exercise include the removal of obstructions from the highways, traffic control/ decongestion, public enlightenment campaigns through the distribution of safety handbills, radio and television talk shows and other forms of awareness campaign, in addition to strict enforcement of road traffic regulation. Infractions such as the use of cell phone while driving, overloading, wrongful overtaking, lane violation, dangerous driving, drink driving, obstruction and other road vices will form part of the patrol thrust while the Corps’ operatives will equally check speed limit violation through the use of radar guns. Aside from massive deployment of personnel and logistics along designated corridors and black spots, the FRSC will also utilize its nine Help Areas along Hawa Kibo, Akwanga, Gwagwalada, Lokoja, Ore, Egbeda, Mowe, Ogere and Kakau highways, in addition to the establishment of mobile courts at specific locations across the country for quick dispensation with road traffic offences. Speaking on the Sallah special patrol, the FRSC Corps Marshal and Chief Executive, Boboye Oyeyemi said that the nationwide exercise ‘forms part of the Corps’ sustained efforts to build on its Ember months campaigns which will be sustained throughout the end of the year to mitigate against road crashes during the yuletide season”. He added that “the FRSC has a consistent tradition of enforcing traffic rules and regulations throughout the year to avoid a one-off approach to road safety management in Nigeria’. Oyeyemi also spoke specifically on speed limit violation saying “our findings indicate that speed limit violations remain a prevalent factor on road traffic crashes, accounting for 39% of road crashes recorded nationwide between January and August 2014. Out of all causative factors, he said speed violation, dangerous driving and loss of control which are speed- related; contribute to most crashes on our roads. He said, “This scenario informed a recent resolution after a stakeholders’ forum in Abuja to commence a nationwide enforcement of the compulsory use of speed limiters in all vehicles from June 1, 2015, with commercial vehicles forming part of the phase one of this proposed enforcement”. 2 Likes |
