The FRSC Corps Marshal, Dauda Biu, said this
would prevent loss of lives and properties if taken seriously.
Biu stated this on Saturday in a
congratulatory message to Christians on this year’s Easter celebration, signed
by the Corps Public Education Officer, Jonas Agwu.
The statement read, “As Christian faithful
across the globe celebrate Easter, a day set aside to mark the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from death, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps,
Dauda Biu, has congratulated all Christians across the country.
“Biu urged the motoring public to imbibe
the teachings and lessons of love and compassion that surround the Holy Week
and the purpose of the resurrection of Christ.
“The wanton destruction of lives and
properties on the nation’s highways resulting from people’s impatience would
been avoided if people properly imbibed the exemplary life of Jesus Christ.”
“Faithful as well as members of the general
public should not jettison the rules in the course of the celebration but
continue to observe them in order to build on the gains so far made by the
corps’ in its mission to make the highways safer for all to use,” he said.
He also urged Christians to “use the period
of the celebration to offer special prayers for our country while restating the
commitment of the Corps towards sustaining its present successes in road crash
reduction.”
He disclosed that commanding officers across
the country have been directed to be on the alert during the celebrations, to
provide all necessary support to members of the public, and to particularly
attend to whatever emergencies that may arise.
He called for collaboration from members of
the public for the agency’s ongoing campaigns for a safer road environment by
promptly reporting any road and other emergencies they notice to the FRSC.
