Kwara: FRSC commences free vehicle safety check for drivers
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kwara command, has commenced a free vehicle safety check for drivers in the state.
The FRSC sector commander in Kwara, Muftau Irekeola, told journalists in Ilorin on Monday that the exercise would last from March 17 to 20.
Mr Irekola noted that the command has deployed some of its personnel to execute the exercise on the roads and motor parks.
“We also engaged field operators and staff of relevant state ministries and departments for the exercise.
“We would enlighten the drivers on appropriate ways of maintaining their vehicles, to ensure safety on the roads,” he said.
He advised the members of the public to be aware of the exercise and cooperate fully with the FRSC team.
“The exercise is completely free and devoid of any punitive measure,” he said.
Mr Irekeola appreciated road users who comply with traffic regulations and urged those who do not have a rethink.
“We enjoin motorists to pay attention to areas of defects identified by the FRSC team and make necessary adjustments,” he said.
