The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has congratulated the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of the Eid el Kabir celebration. He commended the faithful for their devotion, sacrifice, discipline, and commitment to the teachings of Islam, urging them to sustain the virtues of patience, obedience, love, and peaceful coexistence which define the sacred season.
Osondu Ohaeri, Deputy Corps Commander,
Corps Public Education Officer, in a statement said the Corps Marshal stated that the essence of Eid el Kabir, which symbolises sacrifice, submission, and compassion for humanity, reflects the same values required for safety and orderliness on the nation’s highways.
He noted that many road traffic crashes are avoidable when road users exercise patience, caution, and respect for traffic regulations.
He therefore called on motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and all road users to celebrate responsibly by avoiding speeding, dangerous overtaking, overloading, drunk driving, route violations, and other unsafe road behaviours capable of endangering lives and property.
While wishing the Muslim faithful a peaceful, joyous, and crash-free Eid el Kabir celebration, the Corps Marshal reaffirmed the commitment of the FRSC to ensuring safer roads nationwide through intensified patrols, strategic deployment of personnel, prompt rescue services, and sustained collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
He further appealed to members of the public to support the Corps by reporting crashes, obstructions, and emergencies through the FRSC toll-free emergency number 122 and the National Traffic Radio platforms, 107.1 Fm to enable swift response and lifesaving interventions.
He concluded by encouraging all Nigerians to use the occasion of Eid el Kabir to promote unity, tolerance, national harmony, and collective responsibility towards building a safer road environment and a more peaceful society for all.
