Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC Kebbi State Command has flagged off its 2025 Ember Months Campaign with the theme, “Take Responsibility for Your Safety: Stop Distracted Driving.”
The Sector Commander of FRSC in the State, Mrs Rukayya Zakaria, stated this at a press conference held in Birnin Kebbi to mark the commencement of the annual campaign.
She said the ember months campaign was a yearly tradition through which the corps intensified road safety advocacy to reduce crashes, injuries, and deaths during the high-travel season.
Rukayya Zakaria identified driver fatigue, overloading, conveyance of passengers in haulage vehicles, and carrying fuel in plastic containers as major causes of accidents.
According to her, the 2025 campaign was designed to address such violations through intensified enforcement and public enlightenment, adding that mobile courts and stop-over operations have been instrumental in reducing offences such as overloading and speeding.
She urged motorists and other road users to comply with traffic rules and take responsibility for their safety during and beyond the ember months.
