As part of its Ember Months campaign, the Plateau Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has embarked on road safety campaign in churches.
Mrs Pat Emoerdi, FRSC Sector Commander in Plateau, addressed worshipers on Sunday at St. Finbar’s Catholic Church, Rayfield, Jos.

She said the church service was organised to commemorate the 2018 African Road Safety and World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the week-long event has the theme: “Roads Have Stories’’.
According to Emoerdi, the need for a safer highway for all road users cannot be overemphasised, as safety is everybody’s business.

“We wish to seize this opportunity to sensitise all of us gathered in this church on the need to be very conscious while plying highways during this ember months.
“Christmas is already knocking. This is the season that comes with high vehicular movements with many motorists, particular commercial drivers rushing just to embark on many trips in the name of making more money.
“This is the time when a lot of motorists disobey traffic rules and regulations, hence causes crashes on our highways.
“So, we are here today not just to remember those who died via crashes but to also remind ourselves on the need to always drive to remain alive particularly during the festive season,’’ she said.
The sector commander called on all motorists to support the Corps in its bid to reduce if not end road crashes on the highways.

Emoerdi advised Nigerians to desist from speeding, overloading, wrongful overtaking, use of phone while driving; driving under the influence of alcohol and night driving, among others.

Safety campaign to churches my foot.

FRSC is the most corrupt organization after Nigerian police.

It's only when you encounter these FRSC guys on the road that you'll truly understand that the Police is your friend.

This is blasphemous.

Why will road safety officials whose hands are soiled with bribes and who chased many to their deaths have the effrontery to step foot in a church?

Shame on the pastor and the congregation that gave these scums audience.

See dem dey are making bastard money

SolutionMee:


Religious nonsense.

There's nothing like "ember month."

It was an idea created by unproductive minds living at the back of the world.
Nigerians are so daft.

Yes, there's nothing like "ember month" but they are doing their work by sensitizing people.

Travelling rate and accident rate is always higher at this time of the year. Therefore they are doing everything to curb such things from happening during festive period.

This "Ember month" myth is just a fictitious faux for credulous, gullible and religion toting beings.

"This is the season that comes with high vehicular movements"

But if only there was another major alternative to road transport, accidents would be curbed to the barest minimum

Hopefully, we'd get there someday!

Ember month?

SolutionMee:



That's because people travelled carelessly during ember months.

Nigerians are too careless in everything.

So pathetic.

Reason for sensitising, so they can be more careful!
