The Corps Marshal enjoined the staff to rededicate themselves for greater performance, even as he recalled that some members of the motoring public were seen violating traffic rules. He therefore warned those involved to desist from such unsafe behaviours by complying with all safety precautions, as the road does not forgive.
While giving an overview of the global road safety campaign under the auspices of the UN Decade of Action For Road Safety: 2011-2020, Oyeyemi stated that the campaign would end at the end of this year and would transit to another decade of campaign from 2020-2030. He called on the staff to prepare well for the tasks ahead pointing out that the Corps has done very well in the pillars of the ongoing campaign.
He applauded President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, and the National Executive Council for approving the reviewed Nigeria Road Safety Strategy NRSS for the Decade of Action road map. The document will facilitate the entrenchment of safer roads, safer road users, safer vehicles, enhanced post crash care among others. The NRSS according to him, is an important, noble and timely intervention which supports the process of entrenching the culture of safe use of Nigerian roads.
To ensure speedy but thorough implementation of the document, the Corps Marshal urged staff of the Corps to brace up with the challenges that lay ahead, noting that extra effort and dedication is key to the realisation of the Corps mandate.
