The Federal Road Safety Corps , Ogun Command, has warned motorists against flouting the directive on the appropriate use of face masks in order not to stall the efforts at stemming the further spread of COVID-19.
The state Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr Clement Oladele, gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Ota, Ogun. Oladele noted that the warning, especially to commercial drivers, had become necessary, as most drivers, who had earlier been apprehended, brought their facemasks out of their pockets.
The sector commander stressed the need for motorists to comply to the directive so that collectively, the country could defeat the rampaging scourge.“The face masks are not to be kept in the pocket. Rather, they are meant to be worn in the public to prevent further transmission of the virus,” he said.
