Federal Government charged to provide adequate support to the Federal Road Safety Corps

     Federal Government has been charged to provide adequate support to the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC in its bid to enforce speed limit on the nation’s highways to curb rising wave of accidents.

    A group, Movement Against Road Accidents, MARA, gave the charge in Lagos yesterday, saying the move to enforce speed limit on the nation’s highways by the FRSC would surely help in mitigating the impact of motor accidents in the country.

    National Coordinator, MARA, Shola Olaleye in a statement said the introduction of speed limit device represented a bold and effective step ever taken by the commission to ensure that sanity returned to the nation’s roads and that the rising excesses of motorists on the road was effectively curtailed.

Olaleye, however, said the movement was disturbed by the rise in the number of miscreants, lawless and untrained young men who drive commercial buses across the nation highways.

    In the light of this, the movement had concluded arrangement to stage its maiden and first road safety seminar in collaboration with the FRSC, Federal Ministry of Transportation, transport associations and unions and various stakeholders.
