The Ogun Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has called for greater synergy with sister agencies to check drunk driving, particularly by articulated vehicles drivers.
The Sector Commander, Ahmed Umar, made this known on Wednesday at Sango-Ota, Ogun State, when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said the synergy had become imperative because ensuring safety on the road is a responsibility of all.
Umar said road safety must be jointly ensured by all stakeholders in the transport sector, just as he expressed displeasure that some road accidents resulted from carelessness, impatience and drunk driving.
“A synergy with sister agencies would drastically reduce the activities of these drunk drivers and achieve better results.
“In addition, the FRSC is doing its best to checkmate erring drivers by apprehending them,’’ he said.
He said motorists must always ensure that their vehicles were in good condition and they must obey speed limits and road signs to stay alive.
Umar admonished motorists who were fond of taking alcohol and other intoxicants before going behind the wheel to desist as he reiterated FRSC’s determination to apprehend drunk drivers to ensure road safety.
