Road crashes responsible for 19 deaths in 2016
This was disclosed by the FRSC Sector Commander in the state in an interview in Ado-Ekiti.
The FRSC Sector Commander in the state, Mr Ismaila Kugu, made this known on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ado-Ekiti.
He advised drivers and other road users to refrain from using cell phones while driving or walking on the road.
Kugu also warned against the use of fairly used tyres, especially at a period of unfriendly weather.
Motorists, he added, must also be cautious on the roads in view of the current hazy weather which limits vision.
He said the command was poised to sensitise residents of the state on road traffic crash and its management in a bid to reduce carnages on the highways.
The sensitisation programme, he said, would focus on speed limit as well as eye sight and “don’t drink while driving” campaign.
