Yuletide: FRSC deploys 1,285 personnel in Kwara
The Kwara State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has deployed 1,285 officers to monitor road situations across the state during the yuletide.
Fredrick Ogidan, sector commander of the corps in the state, disclosed this in Ilorin on Thursday.
The commander said 643 regular marshals, 550 special marshals, and 92 first respondents are on alert in various communities to aid the free flow and safe movement of passengers and road users.
He assured that the personnel were mentally ready to offer their service to the public.
”Our men are everywhere on the road because we know the situation during this festive season.
“We launched our operation zero tolerance campaign at Offa On Tuesday, December 20, to sensitise drivers on road safety and ethics,” he said.
He advised drivers to always park and rest for 30 minutes after every four-hour journey to gain mental fitness.
“Every four hours on the road, you deserve 30 minutes rest before you proceed again. Your body needs rest. You are not a machine.
“Cultivate the habit of parking and resting on the road. Do not be in a hurry to waste passengers’ and your own life,” he said.
