The Sango-Ota Command of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun
State has advised motorists to exercise patience in trying to get to
their various destinations during the Eid-El-Fitr celebrations.
The Sango-Ota Unit Commander, Akeem Gainya, gave the advice in an
interview with newsmen in Ota, Ogun State, yesterday.
Recall that the Federal Government declared Tuesday and Wednesday as
public holidays for the Muslims faithful to celebrate the Eid-el-Fitr.
Gainya said the advice became necessary because of the increase of
vehicular movement during the celebration capable of leading to
unnecessary road accidents.
He advised motorists to refrain from reckless driving during the
Sallah as the nation was in the rainy season.
“Avoid speeding due to the wet nature of the highways to prevent
unnecessary loss of lives. “FRSC also wants to enjoin motorists to
have consideration for other road users to avoid crashes during the
Sallah celebration.”
The unit commander further implored motorists to plan their journey by
ensuring their vehicles were in proper condition before embarking on
any trips.
