FRSC boss, Boboye Oyeyemi
A statement, signed by Mr Bisi Kazeem, the Head, Media Relations and Strategy of the FRSC, said the Corps Marshal and Chief Executive, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, had approved of the deployment of 11,000 officers, 795 vehicles, 283 bikes, and 76 ambulances.
According to the statement, this is to check all traffic offences and ensure safe, smooth roads.
“Nigerians will be once again on the road to visit their homes and loved ones in the spirit of Easter celebration marking the death and resurrection of Christ.

It is in a bid to arrive at their destinations early that most transporters and private vehicle owners drive recklessly and overtake wrongfully, thereby, undermining their safe arrival.
In a bid to make more money, most transporters resort to overloading and the resultant effect is crashes which in turn lead to loss of lives and property.
The Corps Marshal’s vision is to increase Traffic Management of the Corps to ensure smooth travels before, during, and after the festive season to minimise the occurrence of road crashes.
With the measures on ground and with the cooperation of motorists and all staff of the Corps deployed for the operations, road crashes would be reduced minimally, if not eradicated,” the statement read.
