The Federal Road Safety Corps has charged its operatives to ensure hitch-free vehicular movement during the All Progressive Congress’ national convention.

WuzupNigeria reports that the party will hold its national convention on Saturday, 26 March 2022.

FRSC’s Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, advised his operatives to ensure effective collaboration with the Nigerian Police Force and other security agencies in order to achieve the objective.

In a statement by Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Public Education Officer, the Corps Operatives drafted to cover the national convention have equally been mandated to clear obstructions from the roads, carry out rescue operations in case of emergencies, and maintain orderliness around the cordoned areas.

To ensure that the Corps plays an effective role to make traffic flow seamless, the Corps Marshal also directed the Deputy Corps Marshal in charge of the Department of Operations to activate the deployment of 1500 personnel of the Corps and 35 Vehicles including tow trucks, bikes, and ambulances to strengthen enforcement of restrictions during the entire process of the convention.

He warned the personnel deployed to play an active role in the democratic exercise and exhibit the highest sense of professionalism, ingenuity, and avoid any temptation that could lead to abuse of the rights of electorates.

While reading out the marching order to the personnel, the Corps Marshal wished the ruling party a peaceful, free and fair convention.
