“We are here in line with the directive by
our Sector Commander, Ishaku lbrahim to
ensure that we create more awareness to
increase more knowledge of road safety
rules among motorists.

“Enforcement has been tightened in that
regard, hence, the sensitisation to let
residents know that such was an
offence”

Zambuk while commending FRSC, tasked
motorists to always adhere to road safety
rules to avoid accidents and loss of lives
on the roads.

along.
