by Azeez Adeniyi

The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has set up additional eight outposts and four ambulance points on the Abuja-Kaduna Road ahead of the planned temporary closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Spokesman of the Corps, Bisi Kazeem on Monday said the new outposts will allow FRSC effectively manage traffic on the Abuja-Kaduna road.

Kazeem said the new outposts are located at the Idu Railway Station, Madalla, Tafa, Jere, Alheri Camp, Barkin Ruwa, Rugasa Railway Station and Kaduna Airport.

He said 27 officers and 65 marshals had been posted to man the new outposts.

He added that the outposts were now 13, including five previous ones.

He said, “For the six weeks, we will be up and doing. We have established checks and balances to make sure that our men posted there are up and doing in order to achieve the ultimate goal of zero crash.

“We should reduce our speed while on this road because traffic will be heavy.
“We should make sure that our vehicles are maintained so that we don’t unnecessarily cause breakdown on that particular road and other traffic rules and regulations adhered to.

“We will go all out to enforce the law especially on speed limit, overloading, dangerous driving, wrongful and dangerous overtaking, phoning on wheels and drunk driving, among others.’’
