Road Safety:is The FRSC Really Keeping The Nigerian Roads Safe? by TalkItAll: 9:11am On Apr 03, 2012
After what happened to the Youth Corps members on their way to Taraba state for a national assignment caused by the FRSC, one begins to wonder if they are not themselves (FRSC) constituting nuisance on our roads. Their modus operandi is something else. On Agbor-Asaba express road in Delta state, precisely their command in Issele-Uku, the men and officers of the FRSC on that road have safety as the last thing on their mind. From the way they carry out their UNsafety activities one can be so sure that they are out to cause havoc on the road. I will try to relay one or two of their activities. Sometimes in other to forcefully stop a vehicle, you see them drive either their ambulance bus or their pick-up van right across the road not minding that the oncoming vehicle they are trying to stop can have any form of system malfunction or that the driver may at that particular time loose control of his/her vehicle and there will be a very bad accident that may lead to a pile-up of more accidents because the vehicles behind the one they are trying to stop may not know what is going on and may also get involved, thereby causing a massive pile-up. FRSC Issele-uku be warned because what you do there is to extort money from road users not necessarily to keep the road safe, which is your primary responsibility. If peradventure what happened to the Youth Corps members on their way to Taraba state happens in Issele-uku, I'm sure the FRSC will as usual blame it on the road users and not on their incompetence to duty. How trained are the officers of FRSC on road safety? The police are off the road, now the FRSC think it is their turn to cash in on the situation to start extorting money from motorist. FRSC is to keep the road safe not to make as dangerous as they are making it out to be. We are watching! Nairalanders please contribute on this issue by letting us know what your take is and what the situation with FRSC in your area is. Are you satisfied with the way they carry out their operation?
