It is no longer surprising the rate at which articulated vehicles fail brake and lose control at the cost of human lives.

These are needless deaths that can be prevented with the right policy/regulations. Most of these trucks on our roads have outlived their lifespan, with many of them manufactured during World War 2.

The FRSC alongside other relevant agencies need to come up with a framework to phase out these "death traps on wheels" by ensuring only trucks with a maximum of 10yrs can ply our roads. The drivers also need proper training, background checks, and tracking to ensure more accountability and safer driving .

Until this is done, tragic accidents like this will continue ad infinitum.

Instead FRSC will always prefer to focus on private vehicles in their never ending hunt for bribes

Anything commercial gets a free pass (they have bribe-payment schedule already) no matter how many violations they've got

Useless FRSC will not stop articulated vehicles to check their road worthiness, they only know how to pester Private vehicle owners.
Road nuisance.

Whether u have vehicles that r less than 10yrs, if u don't do the necessary maintenance on that vehicle, there must be problem.
Will a brakepad last for 10yrs even if that vehicle goes on a dailytrip to far distance?
What frsc need to do is check maintenance activities of all these articulated vehicles...
Nigerians r poor in maintenance culture, we love managing things till it collapses.

Needless waste of lives.

With all the traffic agencies feeding off state and federal budgets, we still have hundreds of reckless drivers plying our major roads with unfit vehicles that should have become scraps since the 70s.

If you can't serve God on your own terms is it on the term made by other people who call themselves men of God that will determine how you serve God?

Young man, that statement actually berates the so-called religious people..to show that their system of worship was fashioned for them.

Hence, they are slaves that follow orders!
