To curb road crashes, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has directed construction companies to ensure adequate placement of road signs at all construction sites.
FRSC Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed said in a statement that the directive was in line with President Bola Tinubu’s bold and results-driven push to transform Nigeria’s road network through nationwide construction and rehabilitation works aimed at boosting safety and efficiency on all highways.
Mohammed further ordered the companies to install, maintain, and continuously update proper road signage at every active or inactive construction area without exception.

To ensure full compliance, he directed all Commanding Officers across formations to immediately commence strict and effective enforcement of this directive nationwide.
He condemned the recurring failure by some construction firms to provide adequate warning, information, and diversion signs around project zones, an omission that places motorists and other road users at serious risk.
He emphasised that this directive is final and enforceable, noting that FRSC field commands will intensify supervision, and any contractor found violating approved safety standards will face decisive regulatory actions.
He reaffirmed the determination of the Corps to collaborate with stakeholders to ensure that the Federal Government’s investment in road infrastructure results in safer, more secure journeys for all road users.
