The Benue
Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission has deployed its personnel
to major highways in the state, to ensure order on the roads during
Christmas, the Sector Commander, Habu Dauda, told the News Agency of
Nigeria on Thursday in Makurdi.
He said that all officers on leave have been recalled to ensure adequate coverage of the various routes across the state.
He said
some of the regular and special marshals would embark on special foot
patrols to monitor road users and ensure compliance with traffic rules.
The
commander said all patrol vehicles in the six units under the command
have been fully equipped, while the officers had undergone training in
handling emergencies.
Dauda
commended the Benue State Emergency Management Agency for providing
first aid kits to the command, as part of collaborative effort between
the two agencies.
He said
the focus would be on the road worthiness of vehicles, tyres life span,
use of cell phones while driving, seat belts, over-speeding and
over-loading.
