The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has announced its intention to revoke the driver’s licenses of non-compliant drivers as a measure to reduce road accidents in the country.
FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, revealed this in Abuja while reviewing the results of the 2024 Eid-el-Kabir Special Patrol Operations conducted from Friday, June 14 to Sunday, June 16.
He emphasized that the Corps recognizes the growing importance of collective participation and collaboration among all stakeholders.
“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.”
He mentioned that the Corps utilized the review exercise as an essential tool to achieve the progress recorded during the specified period.
He highlighted that one of the key activities involved strengthening the ongoing Inter-agency Joint Task Force (JTF) to address the excesses of trailer drivers.
The FRSC chief also stated that the Corps engaged extensively with the leadership of various Transport Unions and Security Agencies, including State Traffic Management Agencies and the FCT Department of Road Traffic Services.
