The FRSC claims about 5,000 lives have been lost on Nigerian roads due to tyre burst from 2010 till date. This has necessitated them to intensify the effort on sensitization programmes and ultimate ban of the use of food-based and substandard sealing pastes mostly used by Vulcanizers to fix tyres across the country.

The Corps Marshal - Boboye Oyeyemi’s interest to intensify this sensitization and enforcement campaign is further reinforced by the House of Representatives’ Resolution (HR.65/2016) to curb the influx of substandard tyres, non-lubricant rims and fake tyre sealing pastes, as well as the use of food-based products on tyres by vulcanizers.

According to him, the Corps Marshal has stressed that Vulcanizers are culpable for the way and manner they improperly handle tyres during repairs, he added that the dangerous practice of engaging fake sealing pastes is capable of causing rusts on rims as well as wears on tyres.

He already met with The Vulcanizers’ Association to intimate them of their inappropriate and dangerous conducts.

Complain - Ban

Mtchewwwww no profer solutions.

FRSC is a retard agency. There's no creativity in their leadership, always adopting old-fashioned approach to solving modern challenges.

Comparing this to the installation of speed limit commercial vehicles one wonders how it would be implemented in a country with no reliable statistics. I trust all these policies are meant to empower some groups of individuals who came up with the ideas. As soon as they make profit, the project will be abandoned.

GAZZUZZ:
Them wan ban EBA and FUFU E go hard to implement o! That thing old pass me.

upon say nafood that thing saving vulkanizer stress since 1820.

Ok.
That means , they will be going from shop to shop to inspect what they use .

You intend to carryout a ban so what are the alternative to this food-based sealing technique been used presently, how can car users access them and demand for them to be used on their types when 99% of vulcanizers use this present method.

So, vulcanizers won't be needed again niyen

.

As much as I condemn vulcanizers that use food-based products on tyres, iin same light
iThink poor road quality is likely the root of major road hazards iin Nigeria.

Our roads could be described as death traps, dodging these holes has caused many accidents and people have been maimed or precious lives lost.

#MyCandidOpinion

Dem wan ban fufu niyen!!!!

Comfused pple.... We and dem abeg who dey use vulcanizers pass?

Funny, we should have a law that stipulate that anyone who fix a tire should add his stamp to a car certificate to show where the work was done

Including fufu?

Confused set of people.

good

Many vulcanised are still using fufu and garri to seal tyres till next year..


That's why I only fix my tyres with branded vulcanised like Michelin and Bridgestone.

They should do it already, all these "set to", " plans to" ,are bullshit

d gum is now been used as an intoxicant by some Fulani dudes down Here..hmm about the banning ayaf nothing to say

.

They are yet to ban?? Yet to ban They are not serious. Mcheww

Perhaps the fufu and garri out there now are of less quality. I've seen Vulcanizer use fufu and garri since I was a kid and they actually worked.
If the road safety is planning on banning those, what are the alternatives and how affordable are they. Will I have to pay extra 1k to the Vulcanizer for some kind of adhesive that 20naira fufu can solve? Or has someone from the road safety bagged a contract for importing these gums and this policy is to ensure he is the sole distributor just like it was in the case of Okada helmets and now speed limiting devices?

Uselessness of highest order. Majority of Nigerian are battling to eat a square meal a day and you're their talking rubbish. Tell your oga on top to make all our roads motorable and also make our economy friendly. Tell me who will buy used tyre if Nigerian economy is serving every one? nobody wey dem go put honey for mouth wey go spitam.

Nonsense..
Make they kukuma ban tokumbo vehicle entirely make we know say dem mean am..

Hw do you expect golf 1991 model to have 4 brand new original tyres that can buy the car itself.. lol

In short , FRSC is out to confiscate wraps of Fufu/Akpu








Is okay

Useless agency no standard never through with speed limit & driver license, staff welfare not properly taken into consideration. Buhari probe this FRSC now.

There is urgent need to fix this economy. No man likes buying tokunbo tyres that will endanger their lives on the long run. And as per the vulcanisers using all these fake sealing pastes; I guess they are all imported, then how come they were able to scale through customs and ports checks? Food for thought. It still stops at the desk of the government.

I use quick patch; I even repair My tyre myself.

Please enough of this bullshit our Authority figures are dishing us! Today, Impound cars with expired Tyre, ban the use of substandard Tyre sealing paste and gum by vulcanizers arrant bullshit.

Like the Vulcarnizers go to the market to purposely buy cheap sealant whatever.

This people should stop Terrorizing the masses who are trying to making ends meet.

If you the FRSC don’t know what to do or ways to go about it then say it out …. like how can we stop the usage of substandard Tyre, expired Tyre, substandard Sealing Paste and Gum.

Then we will answer you that you should not allow such products to be brought into the country period. You should stop importation of all those trash that you allow into the country if you really care about the masses.

By the way before you do that remember ordinary tooth pick, you have not started producing in the country (courtesy one Minstr).
