The Sector Commander, strongly advises motorists to avoid excessive speeding, iverloading, route violation, and driving with worn-out tyres, which form the major causes of road traffic crashes.

The Sector Commander also emphasized the need for drivers to avoid night journies and take adequate rest of 30 minutes after every four-hour drive as a means of prioritizing their safety against fatigue and sleep while driving.

“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.“
