He said the Corps had identified a high volume of traffic routes across the country, and adequate personnel as well as logistics would be deployed for effective traffic management.
In alignment with the FRSC Vision for a safer road environment during the Ember period, the FRSC Boss emphasized that the Corps would intensify Enlightement Campaigns at Major motor Parks, engage with stakeholders and hold Town Hall Meetings to sensitize the motoring public on the need to abide with traffic rules and regulations.
