Driving Beyond the Ember Months: Nigeria's FRSC Prepares
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nigeria is taking measures to ensure a safe driving experience for motorists during the upcoming festive season, known as the "Ember Months."
Responsibilities of the FRSC
- Traffic management
- Enforcement of road traffic regulations
- Public education
- Crash prevention
- Emergency response
Preparations for the Ember Months
The FRSC is prepared to tackle the increased traffic volume during the Ember Months, which span from August to October and include the yuletide period.
To achieve this, the agency is conducting awareness campaigns to educate drivers on safe driving practices, ensuring adequate deployment of personnel across highways, and conducting routine maintenance checks on their vehicles.
According to the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Dr. Boboye Kwande, the agency is committed to ensuring a safe journey for all road users during the festive period.
"We are committed to ensuring that motorists and other road users have a safe journey during the festive period," Dr. Boboye Kwande said.
The FRSC is also collaborating with other law enforcement agencies to ensure a smooth flow of traffic during the period.
The Ember Months are known for heavy traffic as people travel to visit family and friends during the festive period. The FRSC is therefore taking proactive measures to mitigate accidents and ensure a safe journey for all road users.
