“The operation is highly strategic and in line with Goal 1 of Federal Road Safety Corps' 2024 Corporate Strategic Goals which stipulates a 5% reduction in road crash fatalities and injuries.

“While wishing the good citizens and residents of Kwara state a fruitful Easter celebration, Corps Commander Dawulung reiterates the commitment of FRSC Kwara Sector Command towards achieving its mandate of creating a safe motoring environment in Kwara state.“
