Why We Will Clamp Down on Trucks Carrying Livestock, Human Passengers Together – FRSC

 

The Corps Marshal, FRSC, Mr Dauda Biu, said the corps would clamp down on the dangerous practise of trucks conveying livestock and human passengers together.

Biu made this known while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri.

Biu observed that such dangerous practise, mostly by drivers conveying livestock and other goods from the northern parts of Nigeria to the south, had been putting many lives in danger, particularly when accidents occurred.

Biu said that his working visit to Borno was part of the issues to be discussed with stakeholders, particularly road transport unions.

“We are in Borno for a couple of days to assess and see how our operatives are faring.

“There are several issues and challenges around here, and we need to boost their morale.

“We also intended to sit down with stakeholders, especially the road transport unions,” Biu said.

Biu, who also spoke on speeding, particularly by some commercial bus drivers, said the need for speed limit devices to regulate them was necessary.

He lauded the Borno Government for its sustained support of the corps in the state and reiterated the its commitment to improving the FRSC’s presence in the state.

“The Government of Borno made our stay very comfortable in the state.

“Our men are feeling safe, based on some measures taken by Gov. Babagana Zulum,” the corps marshal said.
