FRSC's spokesman told newsmen in Abuja that commands of the agency had been fully mobilised for the exercise.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it is set to begin full enforcement of the installation of speed limiting device in commercial vehicles nationwide on Wednesday.

Spokesman of the corps, Mr Bisi Kazeem, told newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja that sector and field commands of the agency had been fully mobilised for the exercise.

Kazeem said that the army, police, civil defence, Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies were on standby to provide security support.

Adding that the “Enforcement of the speed limiting device commences tomorrow (Wednesday) and there is no going back.
“In readiness, the field commands have been fully mobilised to commence full blast enforcement nationwide.

“To facilitate enforcement, a portal of speed limiting device (SLD) was created and is operational and a short code to confirm the installation of SLD is active.

“A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been dispatched with a directive that copies of those SOP’s be shared to security agencies within the commands’ areas of jurisdiction.

“A template for daily report has also be designed and forwarded to commands. Booking sheets with Failure to Install Speed Limiting Device (FSLD) have been distributed to field commands.

“To ensure seriousness of purpose, sector commanders have been advised to start with joint patrols with unit commands to have more personnel and create impact for the whole of February.

“Also, commands are to hold mobile court sittings at the onset and where mobile courts are likely to slow down enforcement, such commands should go ahead without them.

“We have created a situation room to monitor and collate report on daily basis and test-run for the clampdown.
“What we are trying to do is to register that it has started. It is not necessarily impounding all vehicles in Nigeria in one swoop thereby making life difficult for road users, no.

“It is a gradual thing that we are starting all over Nigeria and that is to say it is no longer advisory.
“You either pay fines or be taken to (a) mobile court to be charged or, in extreme situation, you are asked to come and install before your vehicle is released to you after impoundment.’’

Kazeem said defaulters would either pay a fine of N3,000 or have their vehicles impounded.
He explained that the decision to begin with commercial vehicles was informed by the high rate of their involvement in road accidents across the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that enforcement of the SLD installation has been postponed three time since Sept. 1, 2015 following appeal by stakeholders.

Kazeem said that the need to begin with commercial vehicles could not be over-emphasised owing to the high rate of their involvement in road accidents.

Citing FRSC statistics, he said commercial vehicles accounted for over 50 per cent of the total number of vehicles involved in road crashes in the country.

He explained that vendors of the device had been selected through a screening process by an inter-agency technical committee.

Membership of the committee, according to him, comprises the FRSC, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC).

I just hate these guys... They always have something to sell...from stickers to changing number plates and now this dumb thing...

Good move, let's bring sanity into our transport sector, But FRSC una wahala no be can one ever be complete for una eyes?

Can I instal it on my keke too?

Thieves in uniform

Just initiating Speed Limit in 2017.. A joke of a country.
Well, it's better late than never.

HALLELUJAH!
Dangote Group's drivers and other reckless drivers will be forced to obey road safety regulations.

Long overdue. But I know it would take a year for it to be implemented.

good

ok

Pls this isnt the time for this,so many bills to pay not including the recession, N60,000+ is big money

dont forget its FRSC....their na shap-shap

...

Misplaced priority

Speed kills.

Good one guys!

I remember when Baba Jang banned Okada use in Jos. My brothers complained and almost rioted. But we all saw the positive effect of that move. Activities at the emergency section of hospitals drastically reduced!

Thumbs up FRSC

This nonsense is also imported. At the current dollar rate, expect transportation fares to go up for hustlers like you and I.

If the policy will save countless lives on our roads, then am all up for it. Neverthless itts important to point out the spending power of each and every nigerian occasioned by the recession. I hope the price of the devices is meaningful and there is no work around, else all efforts will be wasted

The device will be manipulated by drivers

As long as it's commercial vehicles, I have no problem with that.

I can't imagine someone telling me to move @ 90km/hr when the manufacturer says 260km/hr.

What is Buhari doing with all the money he is amassing from all these levies and fines here and there.

Exactly. The roads became neater and JUTH and Jankwanu became less populated. Plus, the cost of alternative transportation even reduced. I miss Jos abeg.

Wait, I don't get it. You have to buy this speed-limiting device. Can't they use lasers to immediately know how fast anyone is travelling? And then chase to enforce maximum speed limit?

Instead of them going on the rd thereby wasting the times of passengers as usual why don't they go to the bloody motor parks of these commercial vehicles and inpound them there and then if truely thier aims and purpose are not mischievous

This Policy like all other policies by this agency is always geared towards adding to the suffering of the masses..the question now is how affordable is the device? is it sustainable? or is it just a flash in the pan like MOT road worthiness?

Imported by friends and family

Oya FRSC gbera

FRSC, is it not better you ensure that all the federal roads are in order before this enforcement?

How do you enforce this?
FRSC: *stops commercial vehicle* "do you have speed limiter installed?"
Driver: "yes SA"
FRSC: prove it
Driver: ok sir... zooms off doing 0- 80 km/h in 15 seconds.

On a serious note, this is nothing but a revenue generating drive by FRSC http://frsc.gov.ng/RequestEoI.pdf
Why not allow motorists install their devices rather than pretend to ask for expressions of interests from companies that will provide this service when we already know the companies have been preselected to perpetuate this theft from motorists.
