Just as Lagos that has Africa's first traffic radio, the federal road safety commission seem to be toiling this line too. We can report that all is now set for the official test transmitting of the FRSC Radio.

The Zonal Commanding Officers the Federal Road Safety were taken around the facilities of the station in Abuja recently where they inspected the state of the art equipment being donated to them.

The FRSC Radio is the brainchild of the current Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, the transmitting equipment for the radio was provided by one of Nigeria's Banks as part of its support for the efforts of the lead agency to curb accidents on Nigerian roads.

No date has been fixed yet for the commissioning although the test transmitting will begin any moment from now.

It will be recalled that the NBC recently granted the FRSC the license for the station which will help in giving information, tips and traffic update to motorists in the city of Abuja.

Here are pictures from the inspection as obtained by AutoReportNG

Nice Development. I just hope the Radio Station wont be like Radio Nigeria.

Very nice step but please don't politicise your reports nor gibe false information to the public under the guise of secrecy... Let the figures be factual

Nice one even though it is long overdue

Good one from them

Nice development. More jobs. However, they should avoid 'FRCN trap' by hiring lively presenters, being creative in their programming and setting up strong commercial department.

So just Abuja people can have it okwa ya? OK na, those in the rest of Nigeria can go chop dust na

IF YOU WANT RADIO POLICE ...SAY HI


NPF RADIO

No matter how good it is to have such radion station, Its a waste at long run in as much frsc will not compulsary motorist to use sterio in their vehicle.

Funny dude. Reporting rubbery incident to FRSC is effort in futility and that's not their specialisation.

FRSC: Park well! Ur papers?

You: Here they are.

FRSC: Fire extinguisher? C-caution and others


You: See am ( with frowned face)

FRSC: OK, you r in other, but which station you dey listen to?

You: ah ah, oga e concern you? U switch am on, olamide's pawon blasting.

FRSC: Oga, we go book u and impound your car for not listening to our station.

You don enter be dat o

FRSC the only ISO certified Para Military formation in Nigeria.

Safer roads, fuller life!

Hope it won't sound like FRCN?

That's good.

Any reason why it's situated in Abuja?

I am surprised at the people who said "It is a good idea." What's good here?
Why would the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), a federal agency of government, establish a radio station?
Does that mean that other agencies can ask for and establish their radio stations.

What new message will the station pass to the masses that they have not heard already?
Unless the station is going to be received nationwide, which I doubt, how does the FRSC hope to reach the rest of the country?
It must have been easy to sway the mind of the NBC boss to grant the licence by using safety and enlightenment as excuses.

I consider good roads and adequate road signs as major factors in road safety.
In other parts of the World, the roads are good and reflective road signs are placed at strategic places.
They are present every few feet of corners, bridge rails, electric poles, stationary roadside infrastructure, etc.
Our road signs are scanty and exist miles apart if they are present.

Would it not have been enough if the agency used existing radio stations in the states to spread their gospel.
Infact, this has been the case; zonal and state officers regularly play guests of the radio stations to discuss traffic, safety, or regulatory issues.

My concern is that the radio station is not necessary. It is going to be redundant most of the time.
And I foresee it abandoned and non-operational soon.

I hope they will not ask for a TV station next time.

My candid view.
