The FRSC had, on September 7, commenced a
special Sallah and ember months’ patrol to
ensure zero accident across Kaduna State.
The Corps Marshal, Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi,
announced the deployment of 406 marshals, six
ambulances, 30 patrol vehicles and 400 special
marshals for the operation in the state.
Oyeyemi, who was represented by the Corps
Auditor, FRSC Headquarters, Abuja, Malam
Shehu Mohammed, said that the measures
became necessary to curb the incessant road
crashes often recorded during ember months and
Sallah celebrations.
He said: “There is usually high vehicular
movement on our roads during ember months
with increased movement of people for festivals
throughout the length and breadth of the
country.
“Also, at Sallah there is need for the operation
to sensitise motorists on safety measures on the
highway.”
The corps marshal said that FRSC personnel
would intensify the use of appropriate tyres
during the campaign.
“The use of worn out tyres, expired , over-
inflated or under-inflated tyres are regular
cause of tyre burst which inadvertently leads to
road traffic crashes on the roads, ‘’ Oyeyemi
said.
He said that the Sallah operation was to equally
sensitise the public on the speed limiting device
and the use of appropriate tyres on vehicles.
The corps marshal reminded motorists that the
enforcement date for the speed limit device, as
approved by President Muhammadu Buhari, was
still October 1.
