Motorists, especially officials, have been advised to avoid driving against traffic.

According to the Kubwa Unit Commander of Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Okonkwo Chima, this endangers the lives of other road users.

Speaking during the unit's special patrol, tagged 'Operation Good-morning Abuja', he said no distance was worth the risk.

"We are here to advise the motoring public that it is not proper. Driving against traffic endangers their lives and those of other road users. Their lives and those of their families are very important.

No distance is too far to compare with one's life. If it will take me 30 minutes to save my life, I think it is worth it. The most important thing here is safety and safety can take you to any length so long as you are safe. The maxim is 'walk safe, otherwise don't'," he stated.
