As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and to forestall incessant breakdown of vehicles on the road, the Federal Road Safety Corps, Lagos Sector Command has concluded arrangements to carry out free safety checks on vehicles within the state.
The exercise is expected to start from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st March, 2021 simultaneously on all FRSC formations across Lagos.
The Sector Commander, Corps Commander Olusegun Ogungbemide said all commands within the state will commence the 4-days free exercise from March 18 to assist motorists in detecting faults in their vehicles.
Confirming the exercise in a statement in Lagos on Wednesday,
FRSC Public Education Officer, Route Commander Olabisi Sonusi said that Ogungbemide noted that the exercise was an initiative of the Corps and a checklist ticket will be issued at the end for follow-up and to encourage the drivers fix any defect discovered in the process.
“The step is necessary to forestall incessant breakdown of vehicles on the road and ensure free flow of traffic especially with the various ongoing rehabilitation/repair in the State.
“Please be informed that any detected fault does not attract sanction within this period ,rather request for such fault to be rectified. This could be seen as Quarterly Corporate Social Responsibility of the Corps to the motoring public. You are implored to cooperate with the operatives”.
The FRSC boss advised motorists to obey traffic rules and regulations while also always ensuring that their vehicles are roadworthy.
He said that the command would not condone any act of traffic violations in the state.
He further stated that the operation will be carried out by operatives including Special Marshals throughout the duration of the exercise.
