Borno State Sector Commander Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) Boyi Utten has commended the State Governor Babagana Zulum for promising to assist the
Utten said with the lingering insurgency in Borno, the delivery of the truck would go a long way in sorting out problems of broken-down vehicles within and outside the Maiduguri metropolis.
He said the existing office spaces for the command are operational but those in central and northern Borno still have security issues because they can’t move in yet due to the insurgency problem. “We have a roadside clinic in Beneshiek which covers accidents along these sections of the road. With time we hope to open up a zebra to be able to take care of crashes or any form of eventuality arising from crashes from commuters.
“The theme for this year’s campaign is ‘Avoid Speeding, Over Loading and Unsafe Tyres to Arrive Alive’. The choice of this year’s theme is premised on the fact that overspeeding and tyre bursts have been identified as some of the prevailing causes of Road Traffic Crashes with higher numbers of fatalities especially during this period as a result of a driver’s attitude.
“The prevalent causes were attributed to overspeeding, overloading, dangerous driving, failure to install speed limiting device, lane indiscipline, absence of wipers during rainy seasons, faulty lighting system, route violation, use of phones while driving, poor vehicle maintenance among others.”
