THE Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) have warned motorists against overspeeding and overloading to ensure an accident-free Christmas celebration today.
But the FRSC has started arresting drivers of overloaded vehicles.
Speaking at the Operation Eagle Eye organised by National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on Kaduna-Abuja highway, representative of FRSC Kaduna Zonal Commander, Ibrahim Sarki Abubakar, cautioned against over-speeding during the festive season.
“We are happy that NEMA always stand by us by helping us to sensitise the people, particularly motorists, against over-speeding and overloading. These are among the major factors causing accidents on our major roads.
“We have already started arresting defaulting drivers because we want to have accident-free Christmas season. We commend NEMA for their support,” Abubakar said
Earlier, NEMA Zonal Coordinator North-West Zone Musa Ilallah said the operation was aimed at showing support for activities of FRSC, especially during the Christmas season.
