He said that the mobilisation of the officials and the NYSC members had been concluded because the commission was determined to maintain traffic order before, during and after the celebration.

He urged motorists to cooperate with the officials to ensure smooth conduct of traffic, warning that motorists found contravening traffic rules, especially violating one-way regulation, would be arrested and prosecuted.’’
He also warned parents not to allow their underage children to drive, adding that anyone found wanting in that regard would be dealt with according to the law. (NAN)[eap_ad_3]
