Saturday, June 29, 2024 -The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has announced plans to revoke the licences of bad drivers as part of measures to reduce road crashes in the country.
The FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed,
made this known in Abuja on Saturday, June 29 while reviewing the outcome of
the 2024 Eid-el-Kabir Special Patrol Operations
“We took full advantage of the
opportunity to deliver reduction of road crashes and fatalities in our country
by enforcing laws and educating commuters on safety consciousness,” Mohammed
said.
“We did this because, we are aware
that if we fail on our part, posterity will not pardon our failure to manage
the challenges, and the scars of our irresponsibility will be deafening, hence
the imperatives of doubling our efforts in our future engagements.”
The FRSC boss said that the Corps had a
robust engagement with the leadership of the various Transport Unions, and
Security Agencies.
“All these
were done to ensure that every stakeholder, both in the public and private
sector, plays a cardinal role in entrenching safety on the highways.
“On the
strength of the foregoing, may I bring to your notice that we have added to the
conventional enforcement of traffic regulations on articulated vehicles.
“We have gone a step further by commencing
prosecution of recalcitrant drivers through Mobile Court operations in the 36
States of the Federation and the FCT.
“Subsequently, more drastic measures,
including suspension and withdrawal of the national driver’s license, will be
carried out.”
