Road travel ordinarily should be pleasant and interesting. The same can not be said about travels on Nigeria's roads. Bad roads, kidnapping, robberies of various shades including that by outright criminals and government backed ones are part of the turmoil on Nigeria's roads. One agency fast becoming notorious for road robbery is the federal road safety commission. Transporters have observed recent recruitment of freshers with this terrible zeal for extortion. They gleefully request for fire extinguisher, spare tyre, expiry date of tyres, lights, and recently refurbished plate numbers. All sorts of offense targeted at exploiting the road user who has already been brutalized by the nature of the roads being travelled. The worst being operating in an economy where bare existence has become a terrible challenge. WHY WILL FRSC PUNISH MOTORISTS WHO HAD THEIR FADED PLATE NUMBERS REFURBISHED BY THE LAGOS VIS? Is this not the height of impunity and wickedness? Which law permits this agency on the road and for what purpose? Why don't they make themselves useful by identifying bad road portions and getting government do the needful while standing at such spots to prevent accidents. Why can't they make sure road signs are visible to direct road users appropriately? Why don't they operate only ambulances for rescue of accident victims? Such should actually be the concept of such an agency. Finally, the Appeal court has ruled that FRSC has no business on state and local government roads. Why are they not obeying this judgement. They are rather seeking for firearms. This is laughable and pitiable because they will become game for bandits and ugm aside turning themselves into armed robbers. FRSC should be scrapped as it appears a ubiquitous being without clear-cut direction.
