The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kaduna on Monday began a special Eid-el-Fitr patrol, reiterating its commitment to sanitising all roads in the state.
The sector commander of the corps, Kabir Nadabo, stated this at the commencement of the patrol at the Kawo motorpark in the Kaduna metropolis.
Mr Nadabo said the special patrol was for the command to achieve crash-free festivities.
According to him, the command has outlined strategies to ensure that the special operations are conducted across the entire state.
Mr Nadabo said all the instruments to enhance the success of the operations had been put in place.
”They include putting adequate human and material resources on ground and collaboration with sister security agencies such as the Nigerian Police, NSCDC, and SSS,” he said.
Mr Nadabo said flash points, such as areas susceptible to traffic gridlock, have all been identified for adequate deployment of personnel for effective traffic control.
“The command has set aside 14 Hilux vehicles, five power bikes, five ambulances, and one tow truck for effective operations.
“The strategic routes of Kaduna-Abuja, Kaduna-Zaria, and Kaduna-Pambegua, which have the highest volume of traffic, will be adequately manned by operatives of the corps,” he added.
Mr Nadabo said the corps has stationed operatives along the construction area from Command Secondary School down to Peugeot Junction, and down to Abuja Bridge for traffic control and prompt removal of obstructions.
He said, “May I also add that for the first time in Kaduna, only three crashes were recorded within a period of 21 days. This is primarily due to home-grown initiatives birthed and implemented by the command.”
Mr Nadabo said the corps was poised to continue to work hard to ensure the mandate of the corps.
The sector commander appreciated the Kaduna State government for its continuous support of FRSC activities.
He also lauded sister security agencies and transport unions for their commitment to assist the corps when the need arose.
