According to the Head Media Relations and Strategy of the Corps, Bisi Kazeem, this is part of the FRSC Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi’s plan to reduce accidents and stop the loss of lives.
He also said that the use of these improvised sealing pastes by vulcanizers could lead to rusts on new rims, in both new and sub-standard tyres.

Motorists and vulcanizers have been advised to steer clear of substandard tyres, non-lubricant rims and fake tyre sealing pastes, as they could lead to accidents.
