In addition, strategic routes were identified and personnel and resources were deployed effectively.

The Corps worked with various transport unions, security agencies, the State Transport Authority and the FCT Traffic Authority to ensure comprehensive participation in safety on the highways.

To improve traffic law enforcement, the FRSC has begun prosecuting offenders through mobile judicial operations in all states and the FCT.

Malam Mohammed warned that stricter measures would be taken in case of violations, including suspension and revocation of the national driving license.

These efforts are part of the FRSC’s strategy to reduce road accidents, fatalities and injuries on highways.
