Nadabo explained that the corps in the state was celebrating the ember season which recorded few fatalities as a result of road traffic crashes experienced.

“The command received this very tragic news, however, this will not make the corps relent in its mandate.

”Rather, we will strive more to engage transport unions and continue to aggressively sensitise the public to safe driving culture and general road behaviour.

“FRSC Kaduna will continue to reach out to the relevant stakeholders in the transport industry to caution drivers to shun road vices.

”They include overloading, speeding, dangerous driving, seat belt violation and driving under the influence of drugs, among others.

“Additionally, the sector command is strategizing on ways and methods to ensure an ever safer experience for road users in 2025, “he said.

Nadabo commended the Kaduna State Government for its continuous support to all FRSC activities in the state.

“The corps was able to record low crashes as well as promptly clear obstructions on the highway and enhance effective rescue operations particularly along the busy roads of Kaduna-Abuja and Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Expressways, “Nadabo said .

The sector commander appreciated journalists who have always worked with the corps in preaching the word of safety.(NAN)
