The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, is set to deploy 25,000 regular and special marshals nationwide for its special patrol during the forthcoming Sallah celebrations.
FRSC’s public education officer, Bizi Kazeem, told newsmen in Abuja that 864 vehicles, 106 ambulances, 22 tow trucks and 266 motorcycles would also be deployed for the exercise to ensure effective management of expected upsurge in human and vehicle traffic to mininise road accidents within the period.
The exercise would hold between June 22 and 28, 2017, and FRSC rescue teams would operate skeletally in the evenings for security reasons, since FRSC officials were not armed.
However, he explained that the operation would last up till 10pm in places like Lagos, where the security of officials could be guaranteed.
