Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has intensified nationwide enforcement to curb traffic violations and eliminate dangerous driving practices as Nigerians embark on end-of-year travels.
The Corps Marshal, Mallam Shehu Mohammed, stated this during a strategic monitoring of vehicular movement in Kaduna under the ongoing Zero Tolerance special operation for the festive season.
Mallam Mohammed said the Corps had deployed additional personnel and logistics to major corridors linking Kaduna, Abuja, and Lokoja, following heavy traffic experienced in recent days, particularly along the Abuja–Lokoja Road.
He explained that the monitoring exercise was extended to the Abuja–Kaduna Road due to ongoing construction works, which could further worsen congestion if not properly managed.
According to the Corps Marshal, the operation targets dangerous behaviours such as speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, distracted driving, and other traffic violations to ensure free and safe movement for responsible motorists, passengers, and other road users.
He disclosed that the monitoring team would return to the Abuja–Lokoja corridor after the Kaduna exercise to sustain enforcement and traffic management.
On nationwide enforcement, Mallam Shehu Mohammed said all sector commanders across the federation had been directed to ensure early deployment to identified traffic hotspots throughout the festive period.
