He said the FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, praised the FRSC personnel for their exceptional bravery, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
In addition, he assured Nigerians that the Corps would continue to work tirelessly to rid the nation of such criminal elements through swift responses and proactive measures, not only to save innocent lives but also to protect the economic interests of Nigerians.
In this light, he admonished vehicle owners to always ensure that they provide all necessary information required of them at the point of registration of their vehicles. This, he said, is because adequate information helps in intelligence gathering, which, in turn, makes the timely recovery of vehicles possible.
He also stated that the Corps will not relent in its efforts to make Nigerian roads safe and secure for all users, as he urged members of the public to continue to support the Corps in this quest for safer roads in Nigeria.
“As the FRSC continues to push the boundaries of excellence in road safety management and crash prevention, Nigerians are assured of a safer and more secure motoring environment,” he said.
